I think you are forgetting one little point ... Yorkfield is a monster at games , it did create a very hard to beat competitor. When you look at Phenoms, it is in average 30% behind, in some case more. Adding a 3rd level of Cache and not losing performance, and being able to be around the performance of yorkfield is more than outstanding. Nehalem is a processor that will get some serious boost on video (Will beat Badaboom), will be awesome at 3D rendering, and will be the only server chip that sane person should buy.
And as I always say to the people who feel compelling to criticize with big words as "stupid",
try to do it yourself and see if you can do better than us
