Of course, nehalem is apparently gonna pwn the current opterons,which did very well in the multi-socket category due to increased bandwidth inherent when using IMC.

All I am saying is that there is not much for a gaming enthusiast to be happy abt.(which i am not,but many are).Like u don't have to wait for the mainstream one to arrive when u upgrade.(though by that time,the current processor's price would have dipped).

Yeah 32nm could hold immense possibilities esp. if they increase the L2 cache back to the 4-6MB level and/or increase L3 to 16MB(then very few misses for sure)!!
