Could be wrong, though.

This seems to be the subject of some debate... with comments from an Intel PR manager adding to the confusion just today... http://www.nehalemnews.com/2008/05/n...eaded-for.html

In the end it really doesn't provide much further clarity one way or the other.

4.8GTs at 16bit wide => 19.2GBs per link

Actually , NVIDIA won't get an QPI license from the looks of it.

Ack. I suppose they cropped the photos for the same reason they covered the socket. Tri-channel memory? I would have thought/expected three colors on the dimm slots then. Looks like 3 sticks on each of the two channels if color is any indication ... which it very well may not be.

Why 3 colours? You would use the same colour slots to populate one channel.

It IS trichannel. If it was dualchannel it would be the mainstream part and there would be only a southbridge.

Is the IHS the same size as the 775 IHS?

personally I'm in it for dual tripple channel unbuffered bandwidth with Gainstown.

They're actually 20bit wide , 16 for data and 4 for RAS.

It was a leading question. Because like HT its unidirectional. So 4.8GT/s on a 16bit link aint 19.2GB/sec. But instead its 9.6GB/sec each way. Nobody would say 100mbit ethernet is 25MB/sec per link either.

Same as people thinking they have a 6.4GB/sec/8GB/sec HT link. Instead they have 3.2 or 4GB/sec each way.

Someone else will be able to explain more than me :)

No, the SATA2 interface supports up to 300 GB/s of bandwidth, the fastest SSD read/write speeds are just approaching 100MB/s. Samsung has also announced a drive with 200MB/s and 256GB for next year.

What I want to know, is there going to be an LGA755 version of Nehalem that will work with DDR2 boards?

There is no LGA755, and nehalem is DDR3 only.

45nm Q9450 and P45, or wait for Nehalem and X58? For some reason, I remember seeing P53, or was it P43? Is there an enthusiast chipset line like P35 is to X38/48?

P35 = mainstream, X38/48 = enthusiast

P45 = mainstream, X58 = enthusiast

I could've sworn there was either a P43 or a P53 coming out though... Either that, or I was hallucinating when I read an article... Hmm... :shrug:
