sounds like a winner mainstream part, intel did a very smart move makin PCH only on MB and
NB built on die of Cpu..
its very tempting to get a bloomfield but if thats gonna cost alot i see lynnfield as a winner :)

Now, if you bring price into the picture the penryn may equate to cheaper performance ;)
Don't know! I bought a Wolfdale because I use more Single and Dual threads than 4 or more. I don't multitask because there are 4 computers in my home. If I had a need for 4 cores like many others here do I'd get one. I try to buy the right tool to fit my use pattern.
More heat, but also more surface area to remove the heat. It is a lot larger than Penryn and thank goodness, no more Hot North Bridges to deal with. Like now. My Wolfdale is running at 30C and the North Bridge is at 42C. But one thing to consider here. Once that part (NB) of the processor is made with a better process and shrank down the 45nm don't expect it to run at 42C.

According to several of our sources, Intel is well on its way with silicon yield, and early samples confirm this. With our own sample in house, we were able to overclock our samples by nearly 1 GHz. What are the performance figures for a quad-core Nehalem system running at nearly 4 GHz? We’ll come back with more as soon as we develop a viable suite of benchmarks to show some real-world gaming and productivity performance.
Mmm....4Ghz and counting.
Does anybody have everest memory bandwidth tests with Nehalem and that 3-channel DDR3?
so what do you guys think a crossfire 4850 setup, 4gb of DDR3, and nehalem cpu/mobo would cost?
around $1,500 USD?
It should still come down to what features you want? If the board looks like a Gigabyte DS4 you have one price, if it looks like an Asus MaximumPrice might be $450. Motherboards are the only unknown part of the equation. I think Crossfire 4850s might be under $300 by the 4th Quarter. Mine was $170 shipped. If I trusted rebates, I could have gotten it for about $150.
intel Ganestown rely worth it? rely worth the upgrade (CPU / memory / etc) ? i hear that Desktop Nehalem will lunch in November... but wath about the Xeon Ganestown ? I'm consideing in buying a nice gift before Xmass.
I wold rather buy dual Ganestown , bether value in time
Dell will release their new PowerEdge R710 Server based on dual gainestown in november. So maybe a launch in October should be possible. Nehalem is always worth the upgrade. ;)

@Drwho?
you mention before that some DDR3 memory makers are not following the proper reference/guidelines in their DDR3 modules do you have list to those manufacturers that follow the reference/guidelines ?
and also is it possible that those memory makers that follow the reference/guidelines has a more capable Modules specially when overclocking
thanks for the reply I am setting up a built for Nehalem so i need a little info,
planing to wait for the Asus ROG x58 board but if other board makers step up to the plate
I will consider them as well the more the merrier :p:
@ anyone
I have a question about tri-channel memory. Since we all know that Nehalem will allow for 32GB/s of memory bandwidth in tri-channel mode (assuming three sticks of DDR3 1333MHz @ 10.6GB/s each), will it also be possible to run 32GB/s in dual-channel with two sticks of DDR3 2000MHz (16GB/s each)?
The reason I ask is because DDR3 2000MHz sticks are still pricey, and I was wondering if I could get two now and wait for a third down the road.
