Yeah that's all well and good if your into the whole performance thing, but does intel have a 4X4??? :lol:
So who on this forum was bit on that one for a $400 MB???
Intel has it and you will see first 4x4 Intel based products arriving this fall.
About AMD and Intel... well AMD s still stron in the server market due to the mem controller... however it wont last long.
And Barcelona wont be able to hold against Tigerton and Dunington from the Intel, which will surface around mid summer.
If I'm not mistaken I believe that Nehalem will have an integrated memory controller.

from the link
Nehalem will no longer use a FSB but a serial point to point interconnect. Even more revolutionary is the fact that Nehalem will have an integrated memory controller (IMC) and that the number of serial interconnects is variable (Intel's version of "HyperTransport"). Another potentially groundbreaking move is that some Nehalem CPUs will have a GPU integrated (Intel's version of "Fusion"). With an integrated memory controller, new interconnect, and potentially integrated graphics, Nehalem will obviously require a new socket.
