RE: Intel unveils Nehalem 'turbo mode'
Did you buy an Intel 771 or 775 processor/motherboard recently - guess what the new pin outs are different.

Next year they will be obsolete - with the only positive item being prices will drop on currently available components. Key item - cpu processing speeds are not radically stepping up, no ddr4 memory only dr3 for 1600 fsb, ddr2 for below.

On the positive side - more of a marketing item quad processors available for laptops, as technology to do that already existed - however if Intel rolling out 8 core for laptops in their initial announcement Now that would be show stopper for AMD. As Laptops typically have a shorter horizon due to depreciation schedules. Amd, & any vendor - I believe should lead with the highest core available equipment in the LAPTOP
Market - as it keeps their Name more readily in front of the purchaser.
