I have been following Intels new product line with interest and finally I have seen the designers webcast. It looks like Nehalem will be a beast for performance with its new memory controller on chip and other enchancements.

Anandtech have managed to perform a basic review on the new architecture with samples. Read up on this here.

How will this affect the Mac lineup? Who knows - I for one am not a tradtional Mac Rumor-monger, butI will say that interesting times are ahead.

As for AMD? well they really need to pull there engineering socks up if they are to remain competetive in the comming years.
