Latest Nehalem date?

[jawbreaker]

'lo....

I know about this new CPU. Does anyone know the latest date for it?

Is it going to use more power than the Core Duos?

 

[Popov]

I tried goading Gibbo to give us some dates without any luck so not sure on that yet, I'd expect it to use less power as it appears to run with lower vcore so clock for clock should use less watts (asuming I'm not mixing that up) although I guess if it's reaching 4-5 gig it may make up the watts that way

I`m sure Gibbo said in another thread that the release of the Nehalem would be about november.

I think November is the latest. Not for the full range of CPUs though, Q1 2009 for that.

They don't bring a huge difference if you're just gaming though - my Q6600 is still performing admirably - I might wait for the 32nm refresh.

 

[Subliminal Aura]

ppl are saying that this chip is going to be a biotch to overclock due to Intel's own attempts to put it into 'turbo' mode

Can anyone confirm this?

 

[jameskirstylou]

i cant wait to try one out tbh

 

[Malazan]

Meh, i'll get one when can't max out the games i want @ 1680x1050, and of course that means a new mobo.

That won't be till 2010 but I guess your q6600 will last a while yet.

 

[psychas]

november but would buy it till 2009 q1 as prices will be huge i guess

 

[XeNoN89]

November, more mainstream versions will be released early next year though.

 

[HighlandeR]

Man was still hoping it was due end of next month lol

Guess early 2009 is best time to go shopping more range/better prices and bugs ironed out etc etc

 

[Perfect_Chaos]

the cheapest bloomfield quadcore will be the 2.66ghz in november, still 200 quid or so though

 

[Major_Disaster]

November... but you really need to wait to Q1 2009 if you want the full range out at reasonable prices.

so the prices are going to drop 40% or more in 2-3 months?.. i have doubts.

 

[=VTA=MANFACE]

I would wait till next year to buy it.

It very well might to compete with the 45nm AMD processors, it has happened before mate And even if they don't, there are the mid-end socket/chips coming out.

 

[Lightnix]

Well it's more 3-6 months depending on whether you mean the beginning or the end of Q1 which seems pretty feasible.

With a bit of luck it might coincide with the release of Windows 7, would give the perfect excuse to buy a new system.
