Oh, wait...
yes but they dumped the idea, you do realize that the original nehalem was netburst on steriods right? That's why some of the features, like hyperthreading are coming back with nehalem, as the same division made both.


If it wasn't for k8 being so successful, there would have been no conroe, instead just a beefier netburst and then on top of that intel has admitted they like the k10 design, but that its near impossible to produce it properly on a 65nm process. Now I'm not saying amd hasn't done the same, look at their original products, they were just intel parts with their name on it, but that doesn't mean intel didn't use some of the k10 design in nehalem
