Intel Nehalem Photo debut

[chew*]

can someone shed some light for me regarding the 2 and 3 ch ddr3 setup?

1. why is the 2 ch coming out later, seems to me that would be the lower
performing one.

2. i take it the 2 ch does not relate to dual channel and 3 ch to triple
channel, if so why ddr3 dual channel, wasen't the hole point of goin to ddr3
to get an additional channel besides the change of memory access pattern?

thanks

btw, i wish they were here next week. a whole year of waiting

its rather simple, instead of intel manufacturing non QP and non triple channel ddr3 they will just use the chips that "fail" which takes time to accumulate enough to supply the market. It always works that way, all manufacturers will spin for the best silicon and parts that don't meet the cut will trickle down to supply the mainstream........nvidia,ati and amd all do this.....

Right now I'm willing to bet that intel is only manufacturing QX quads, failed cache's = regular quads, failed cores = core 2 Xtremes, failed cache and cores = c2d, failed c2d cache = c2 celerons, failed c2d cores = single core celerons..............It's just a big domino effect, $hit rolls down hill.............
