The first Nehalem, which has been now been officially named CORE,
won't be out until the end of the year and the first available
processors will be in the 1000 dollar range. It will be this time
next year before prices come down to affordable levels.

announced last week that the retail name of the not-so-secret
architecture will be "Core". We're not so hot on the relatively bland
moniker, but it doesn't make us any less excited for the reportedly
ultra-speedy new processors. In fact, we couldn't wait to get our
hands on Nehalem hardware, and got ahold of a new X58 motherboard and
Core i7 CPU to

I think that the next-generation "Nehalem" (I think that is how it is

Subject: [H] Are current Intel procs really heaters?
Planning to go Intel dual-core ATM.
Tired of the sandbox races; believe Intel is the
current choice. Believe most of the List is now Intel.
Could be wrong....... :)
Anywho, what family of Intel processors should I shop
for "relatively" cool operation?
Know about Zalman coolers, but I tend to focus on
ThermalRight coolers (that replaced my old Alpha coolers).
Thank you for suggestions.
Best,
Duncan
