From (what little) I've seen so far, it seems to me that their next CPU core will be yet another extension of the (by now very) venerable P6 design.
Is it just me, or is Intel turning into quite a one-trick pony here? Or maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, and their next core ISN'T based on the P6... Maybe need to wait and see more first, but it sure seems to me as if they're taking the Pentium-M and modifying it a bit (adding x86-64, extending the pipe a little and jiggling with the caches somewhat) and then presenting it as something new.
