Simple question:
Nehalem: New core, new socket, new chipset. Will you switch to a Nehalem system when it's released?

I shouldn't, I am much more likely to switch to a newer AMD platform, and that will be in a REALLY long time.

If Deneb satisfies my expectations it's a no brainer drop-in upgrade for me. Else I'm pretty sure I'll go for a Nehalem. The rumour about blocked overclocking on mid-lowrange products is rather disturbing though. That said, the high performance/enthusiast Nehalems which allow overclocking are getting released first (Q4 2008).

And, will most likely cost over 1000$ just like all the other Extreme CPUs from Intel.
