"Ok so I know this an AMD article and this announcement is cool and all -
but really Tom's - it is nearly the end of the month and I still haven't seen news on the new core i7's that I thought were supposed to be released at the end of May. Do we really have to wait until the day they come out to hear about them and research them? Is it that bad to tell us about them a little bit early so we can start making decisions on them? grrr - I've been waiting for THAT news for a while which I thought this article was about at first split second glance then read the 3rd word - AMD."
The only nehalems I know of that are going to be new anytime soon are the laptop based ones, which are held up in purgatory waiting for suppliers to get rid of older stuff.
The mainstream i5s are due around Christmas and the new westmeres are 2010 due. Server models are 2010 H2. (early H2 would be my guess).
If you mean the added chips to the current i7 lineup, nothing has been reported because no information has been released. Companies RARELY hype products like a i7 945 processor (an update to the 940... you get the idea).
Maybe that's why.
