After drooling over DSO systems for over a year I will finally, finally, finally be able to buy a system when Nehalem arrives.Clap  Assuming the price is not over the top.

Too bad the mainstream Nehelams will not support overclocking at all. That kind of kills any sort of interest I might have had in them. The folks at Intel are out of their Censored minds if they really think average folks will pony up $1000+ for just a CPU to overclock. I'm waiting for AMD's next release with some anticipation. Hopefully an overclocked AMD mainstream chip will do better than stock Nehelams. If not, that means Intel has basically got us all by the short hairs. Angry

Nehelam Benchmarks at 2.93GHz
 
For reference, my scores with a Q6600:
PCMark05:10773
3DMark06:15940
SM2.0:6384
SM3.0:7049
CPU:4952
Vantage CPU Test:
Test 1: 1475
Test 2: 15.59
 
I do expect the Nehelam test results to improve as hardware drivers mature, but even this early in development there is a substantial performance advantage to be had in situations where increased bandwidth is key, which was expected. In situations not designed to take advantage of it, my bottom of the barrel first generation overclocked quadcore shows just as much muscle as a Nehelam.... at least for now.

well personally i wouldnt want any extra power utilized to do normal everyday things anyway..but when im gaming i want that option if needed..nehalem again would fill that bill for me...i dont need an overclocked processor to browse the internet..and might not need one to play crysis either..when nehalem comes out..

This is all true workingman. The source of my disappointment isn't with Nehalem's power or it's features. Currently, it is possible to squeeze top shelf performance from an entry level chip with a little know-how. Nehelam is going to end that.Cry

Nehalem will support overclocking. It's just going to be very difficult compared to how it is currently done...
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star.

To me it just seems like the hardware manufacturers are trying to say, hey we sold that as 2.6 Ghz, we do not want you making it 3.2... we charge 1200 dollars more for that.

Oh my rig is not overclocked, I still hope to convince one of the real OC guru's here to teach me what is involved so I can take a few baby steps and see what I think, but for now my rig is completely stock, I am just a wee bit scared of the big black unknown that is overclocking :)

I *always* try to get more for less. That's what drives a free market. Wink
 
They can, however, do whatever they like, especially with no real competition in the market. I'm just a working stiff though. Games like running on CPU's running at 3GHz or more. When I look at the retail pricing of CPU's at or above 3GHz, they're simply out of my price range. It's probably exciting for those that don't mind spending $1500 on a CPU, but that is nearly what I paid for my entire system initially.
 
I'm not excited by Nehalem so far, because Intel has gone out of their way to ensure I won't be. I will see what they come up with in the $200-$300 price segment, and just how effective alternative overclocking methods prove before passing final judgement.
 
In the meantime, I am hoping AMD puts up enough of a fight to offer decent performance for the mainstream buyer willing to put in some effort. From what I have read, that is a slim hope at that.Ouch

If AMD can ever breakthrough with 45nm tech, they will be more than competitive IMO. Nehalem is a step toward controlling intel cpu sales. (They want people to buy their expensive cpus). Tongue
