Intel’s First Nehalem Processors for Desktops Set to Emerge in Q4 2008.
Intel's code-named Nehalem processors first emerged in long-term Intel's roadmap back in 2002 and, as it turns out now, five years later, the actual chips based on the Nehalem micro-architecture will emerge in the fourth quarter of 2008. But one thing those initial Nehalem processors not expected to deliver is integrated graphics core.
Intel's Nehalem processors are based on the brand new micro-architecture that is not only more efficient and advanced compared to Intel Core 2, it is also feature a new multi-threading technology, which will allow to virtually double the amount of cores available. But besides integrated memory controller and a new type of processor bus called Intel Quick Path Interconnect (QPI), the Nehalem promises very high customizability. For example, Intel can add a built-in graphics core into Nehalem central processing units and alter the number of memory controller channels besides changing the number of operating processing engines.
The first implementation of Nehalem micro-architecture will be code-named Intel Bloomfield central processing unit (CPU), according to sources familiar with Intel Corp.'s plans. The chip will have two or four cores, depending on positioning, and will be able to process up to eight threads simultaneously thanks to a technology similar to Intel's Hyper-Threading.

onboard mem controller too,very nice.be nice to see fugger get his hands on one of them.
since AMD released Opteron in 2003 ^^
It either proves how reluctant they are to change or how dumb they are.
PS: but I take it this might just be worth saving an upgrade for! Always AN UPGRADE! LOL... guess i'll stick with a 45nm quad and be happy for a long tme. :)
Definately looking forward to seeing these be released, reviewed, OC'd, etc! I hope they have varying models without the Integrated Graphics when they do support and release it on-chip. I wonder how that would affect overclocking...
b.o.t,i'm not too keen on the intergrated graphics.depending how powerful it is,its gonna make oc'ing and cooling it tricky.hot cpu=hot gpu and vise versa.
And eight cores on a single 45nm platform? Hell, if AMD has nothing to match it when those chips hit the market, I'll buy four and make me my own personal supercomputer and not look back.
However, the reality (as I see it) is sad -- give Intel a few years of market dominance, and their R&D drops to nill. Nada. Zip.
Now I can agree without a shadow of a doubt that the 360 has finally been overtaken in Graphics potential compared to a computer:toast::toast::toast:
