Although official model names have not yet been set, the CPUs are currently identified by the codenames XE, P1 and MS3 with core frequencies of 3.2GHz, 2.93GHz and 2.66GHz, respectively.

    If one of them sells at a price range near $200, I definitely going to get one!

    So there's going to be a socket switch for Nehalem (I haven't been following such things)? I just bought my board a couple months ago and now its going to be out of date by the end of the year. Such is life in the computer realm I guess. Maybe they'll be backwards compatible with the current socket.
