Nehalem

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.

Still fine with my cpu XD

I will wait for the retail reviews to decide.

I am AMD fanboy and will still be the same...

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.

i went with no, even though my current cpu isnt really fine lol

anyways, intel charges waaayyy too much for their higher end products, in the end their just not worth it, chances are ill be sticking to an amd platform when i build my next system

Hail blindartist.

i haven't bought an intel product since the celeron 300a but that's just something i'll have to live with on my conscience...
