Greetings!
It's been almost ten years since Intel put a "multiplier lock" on its Pentium II models.
About a year from now, the other shoe will drop.
When the cheaper Nehalems come out, the socket 1160 kind, they'll contain additional circuitry to prevent FSB overclocking.
To overclock a Nehalem, you'll need to buy the upper-end, socket 1366 Bloomfield models, which are shaping up to be an expensive proposition. The lowest priced quad Bloomfield is supposed to be priced around $316; at least the initial motherboards are also likely to cost a ton, and three-channel memory isn't exactly a cost-cutter.
This is what people do when they don't have real competition.
It is also foolish. Of course, you'd expect me to say that, but hear me out. |

Wonder why would they give a space to AMD completely. Now that would be most idiotic thing Intel would ever do. AMD's new series of 45nm with Memory controllers integrated will have some serious kick I believe and they have full overclocking capabilities allready.
AMD Overdrive, Nvidia ESA/nTune.. Now what does Intel have, atm? Answer would be nothing... They don't have single decent tool on market for on-fly modifications and their memory is working almost twice slower than even AMD Athlon at their Penryns.
Anyhow, really hilarious subject and I might add, if this is actually realistic when these cores gets out. I'll be for sure using again AMD processors & probably also AMD motherboards with ATI chipset from then onward. |

Why not new nVidia chipsets? Do you believe AMD will use some tricks on theirs to boost the performance? |

Nah, that is simply because of Sata-II Controller performance I've had with nvidia speeds which are 60MB/s slower on linear/random & around same even on bursting. Testing something new might be good seen benchmarks reaching intel boards. Don't want computers slowest component beeing even slower than it can be.
