Westmere, a microarchitecture by Intel that was formerly known as Nehalem-C and is a 32 nm die shrink of the Nehalem microarchitecture
Westmere as a settled place is of recent origin, though being along the Great Western Turnpike, built in 1799, it was always a place migrants passed through on their way from Albany and New England to the western frontier.
Westmere is broadly bisected by Garnet Road and is bounded by Coxs Bay to the North and the green belt running from Western Springs, the Auckland Zoo and Western Springs College to the South and West.
Legend says that the building was named 'Westpoint' because it is located right on the border between three Auckland suburbs - Western Springs, Westmere, and Point Chevalier.

Christodoulos Moisa, an artist and writer who, lived in Fleet Street and was the Chairperson of the Newton branch of the Grey Lynn, Westmere and Newton Communities Committee, found out that the extension was going to be put through the bequeathed land and organised a campaign against this move.
In January 2010, the Clarkdale and Arrandale processors (based on the 32 nm Westmere shrink of the Nehalem microarchitecture) were released with Ironlake HD Graphics (GMA 5700MHD), and branded as Celeron, Pentium, or Core with HD Graphics.
However, QPI is used internally on these chips to communicate with the "uncore", which is part of the chip containing memory controllers, CPU-side PCI Express and GPU, if present; the uncore may or may not be on the same die as the CPU core, for instance it is on a separate die in the Westmere-based Clarkdale/Arrandale.
