i'll give some known facts and maybe better to several here who are already dreaming about there next configuration.

nehalem birth is slated for november 2008.....on paper and some that really want to spend to much money, real volume is only q1 2009 this only on 1p and 2p sockets, 4p and higher is even more then 6months later.

there is no speed-bump nor octa core foreseen in the intel roadmap unless the competitor comes with something unforeseen the only thing they talk about are some specific 1600fsb quads.

Now lets say that this is a rather strange move from Intel, the forecast on 1p and 2p is that they won't loose that much market share now that barcelona is available. but the market share gained with 4P tigertown is at very high risk now with release of 4p barcalona, even at a 2,3 GHZ speed they are able to keep performance (but way lower price and power) with the high-end 2,93ghz tigertown on TPC-sap benches and even Virtualization. not to mention the higher speed parts soon.

So intel tackles its own market exactly the same thing they did long time ago from p4-c2d to regain a fast market share but put allot of old stuff into the bin, they did it again from 65-45nm with 45nm not able to deliver and will do it again to new arch....they don't need AMD to loose share or profit .

last but not least, its nice to see those statements that nehalem will be much faster then penryn/harpert/tigert or whatever, lets see first some results... for sure if they calculate on bandwidth they will gain allot and performance for 4p and higher will also increase allot, other parts? still to be seen.
can we not have one Intel thread without you coming in bashing it?
