Nehalem for $284 ONLY??????? i thought it was goin to cost a fortune and was only for sever untill Q2 of 2009 or sumthing.......
if this is true than amd is going to fall behind again after whatever gains it made with phenom in clock for clock department. dam, i lik amd. i have been using amd from ever since windows98 and i was hoping 2 get 45nm phenom but now it looks lik intel is getting realy attractive specially with the low cpu voltage and all.
We managed to get some hot details about Bloomfield CPUs and as you can imagine 3.2GHz the fastest part will sell for $999.
The real surprise comes from 2.66GHz part that will be selling for very acceptable $284. This money gets you the real native quad core at 45nm with 4.8 QDI and 8MB of total CPU L2 cache. We suspect that this CPU supports only dual channel DDR3 memory and naturally it fits to socket 1366. Let's not forget that this quad core supports total of eight threads.
This is a slightly higher price compared to 2.66GHz Core 2 Quad Q9400 or slightly lower than current price of Core 2 Quad Q9450 with 2.66GHz and full 6MB of memory.
Clock to clock Nehalem should be 10 to 15 percent faster than Core 2 Quad and with these prices, it looks like a really nice deal.
Deneb will have some fearsome competition.
