Has anyone unveiled a Core i7/Socket B(1366) Heatsink?

I would assume since its dimensions are much different than the Socket 775 chips, that the upcoming Nehalem would require a new HSF design.

With the launch coming in abour 2 months has the aftermarket enthusiast market begun to preview their Nehalem compatible devices?

Haven't seen one yet. I guess there will be some kind of an adapter that will be in the boxes of all the important heatsinks that are on the market now.

But will current heatsinks even be sufficient? Nehalem is quite a bit bigger than current Core 2's are. maybe the really high-end ones might suffice, but anything else will probably have trouble controlling heat, depending how hot they run.

Looks pretty puny to me, we'll see how Intel packages Nehalem.

Interesting. Where is the backplate in the picture? Or are neha mobos going to include spots to screw in a heatsink? (Good idea IMHO, pushpins be gone!)
