some guys are talking about GPU limited gaming at 1920x1080. But look at this

and this:

(this one is 1680x1050, but high settings too)
On those games the nehalem smashes the K10s, the difference is huge even on high resolutions and high details. On Civ5 the Core i7 980x is almost two time faster than the 1100T. And those slides says that the FX8150 is able to match 980X on those games. it's clearly a HUGE step forward, and a doubt a Phenom II X8 @ 32nm could do that.
