Nehalem details leaked!

At first we think Nehalem will only available in uber high end when it meet the launch date, but according to the new roadmap, Intel has already prepared three Bloomfield with different clock for different class of users. Till now other spec still TBD and we will wait for Intel?s notice.

The Bloomfield for Extreme class clocks at 3.2GHz, performance class Bloomfield runs at 2.92GHz, the lowest one run is 2.66GHz, which Anandtech have already run several benchmarks with.

It seems Intel still not make up their mind how to call Bloomfield commercially so we still need to wait for their next roadmap update.

BTW, the first 45nm dual core CPU will enter Value class in Q3 this year. The CPU will be E5200. E5200 will take over the E2220?s place because E2220 will enter End of Lifecycle in Q3.

We know that there will be three type of Nehalem available for end user, till now we can not get any hard detail on Havendale and Lynnfield, but some more specifications of Bloomfield have been obtained.

The difference of the three CPU is their clock speed which we have mentioned before. Beside that the QuickPath speed is different and memory speed. We believe that the final date, price and the commercial name will be announce later.

I think the new EE based on bloomfield will destory almost all benchmark records out there today. But im surprised on the fact that theres no news on LGA1160 variant. I guess we wont see these til they can successfully replace the penryns with the mainstream "nehalem" which might mean this transition slowly happening during 2009 to 2010.
