"Hi! I work at Intel! Here's a 32nm processor! Here's a 32nm processor running a desktop! And here's a 32nm processor running Windows! We hope to have these on the market as soon as I've finished trimming my eyebrows (yeah, it'll take a while). Kthxbai!"

Still, awesome news from Intel though.]]>Feb 10th 2009 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 9:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/

1066 is the socket that will be used to deliver Core i7 "to the masses" more cost-effectively, 1366 will be for more esoteric solutions, like enthusiasts and Xeon-style customers.

Performance (even memory bandwidth) only drops a few percent when dual-interleaving is used on socket 1366, so socket 1066 systems should have very little performance penalty.

There are other changes in socket 1066, the PCIe controller is moved onto the CPU, I believe.

Socket 1066 will cut the price of motherboards from the current $250-ish for 1366 down to the more normal $150-ish.]]>Feb 10th 2009 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 9:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 12th 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/
If the the westmere is a great CPU I'll look forward to the quad core version in 2010 so I can get some crazy video compiling speeds. ]]>Feb 10th 2009 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/
Many many reviews have shown that for desktops and gaming, a good old Q9650 (which just dropped to ~ $366) is just as good as an expensive i7.

The Nehalem (i7) architecture will see its biggest benefit on the server side of things, where it has already been shown a decent 2 processor Nehalem EP machine can spank a 4 processor Intel 7300 based machine and the latest 4 processor AMD (Shanghai).
It takes a big expensive Xeon 7400 Quad CPU system to beat the Dual Nehalem EP.

The one big advantage on the gaming side of the i7 is the SLI on an Intel Chipset. nV chipsets lately suck in comparison and older Intel chipsets were limited to ATI.

For the average user though, I would say get a Q9550/Q9650 along with 4GB of DDR2 and that will hold you quite well until Westmere arrives at the end of the year (in budget format no less). Light to medium gamers can use a 9800 GTX+ or 4870 and have a great gaming experience. And using these parts, its pretty hard to go above $1000 to boot.]]>Feb 12th 2009 2:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/
So your shiny new MBP is all gravy for about a year, then its gonna be old news. (Arent you glad you just dropped $2000 on it?)

As for MACs taking longer, I agree, but they have a good reason. MACs use EFI instead of BIOS. BIOS is very old and needs to be replaced, but the opem standard in the PC world make it very hard to get rid of it. Mac being in charge of their own hardware and software allowed them to simply pull the trigger and do it.
So rather than say MACs suck because they take longer, why not blame PCs for not bothering to update to something from even the last decade.
If PCs started to widely adopt EFI, we would see better adoption from hardware vendors and this would cause a ripple affect that would allow MACs to get their stuff to market faster.]]>Feb 12th 2009 2:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/I'm a PC guy tried and true.]]>Feb 12th 2009 2:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/Feb 10th 2009 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/intel-demos-first-ever-32nm-processors/
