Intel 'Nehalem' Talks April 2nd and 3rd
The talk will center around why the Nehalem architecture is an all around excellent CPU not only for consumers but for business customers as well. The talk will be hosted between Intel performance engineers and engineers at Dell, who are up for a big Xeon release. Interestingly enough, Apple is the first company out the door with Nehalem-based Xeon systems with the recently annoucned Mac Pro.
Join us 10 am - 12 noon PDT on 4/2 for a live chat session with Intel Performance Engineers. We will discuss performance benefits of the Intel XEON 5500-series processor, code-named "Nehalem" microarchitecture.

How many of you are already using Intel's Core i7? If you are, what did you upgrade from?
Exactly what I was thinking.
I don't think I'll ever need a corei7. At least not for this year.
Perhaps in the future a newer model.
However, if I extensively run applications like Adobe Photoshop or Premiere, I might see a bigger difference as these pro applications actually pull on the processor's threads.
I upgraded from an Opteron 165.
