Like the introduction of Core 2, the release of Nehelem will likely be a game-changing event. I'm very much looking forward to it, assuming info about them remains positive. What will be most interesting is how nVidia and SLI will fit into the Nehelem world. Will nVidia be able to produce a competitive Nehelem board? One positive of the memory controller moving to the processor, I suppose, is that there is less to screw up with the Northbridge -- a real net positive for the Intel nForce world.
