Ok you all might know about this one, but it was a pretty big shock to me when I first read it and there was no discussion or topic on this forum about it. Here's one link (I'll add more later) 1) http://www.tomshardware.com/news/int...alem,5829.html 2) bit-tech.net | Nehalem and X58 show up in Taipei 3) Intel Details Upcoming New Processor Generations Benchmarks *new* 4) http://www.tomshardware.com/news/int...core,5854.html There are no benchmarks with this one because of something to do with NDAs, but the benchies will come. These look like they could have a great future. There is no more FSB (overclocking - some new way )Enjoy the read and watch your heart rate. Last edited by mailaw; July 9, 2008 at 05:23 PM.

From what I've read, the X58 chipset and the processor will each have a clock generator. On the server/mainstream processors one will be locked (the one on the processor), forcing people to get the Extreme Edition processors for overclocking. Heres a random link from Google explaining it: HARDSPELL.COM-Intel banned Nehalem to overclock. Hopefully this isn't the case, the Extreme Edition's wont be super expensive or there is a way to unlock the CPU's clock generator so it can be overclocked, otherwise I'm hoping that AMD can get something worthwhile out.

As long as AMD can't compete in the high end, I guarantee Intel will kill overclocking since they lose money on every low end CPU that overclocks as far as their high end stuff.

I'm really excited for Nehalem (see avatar ). The fact that they are moving to a whole new architecture for the first time since I have been heavily interested in computers is what is really drawing me towards it. Nehalem News is an excellent place to keep updated on it, as well as research everything else that has happened since the development began.

I can't help but feel that Nehalem is quite over-hyped. It will not be offering any monsterous gains over current Quads and there will be little software to take advantage of it as well. I plan on riding my current system into the sunset until it feels like a P1. About the only real changes I have planned is a next gen (not ANY current gen) video card.

mmm thats a disturbing development if they are going to lock down the core overclocking no matter how good the chip is cw with present offerings. I guess the days of turning 2.4-2.6ghz processors into watercooled 4ghz brutes are numbered. Hopefully AMD will sorts themselves out-aren't IBM developing something with them anyway? If only they could repeat the opteron 165 vs the pentium D battle.

I would be shocked to ever see Intel get caught with their pants down ever again after that fiasco. AMD needs to just stick to midrange like they are with video cards, that way we still win.
