Here's what's Funny all the people with previous generation try to justify an upgrade where's the Current generation owners try to justify their purchase.

and the speed would be?

Does anyone know what would be the speed in MHz for Nehalem in the beginning ? I am thinking the first few versions of CPU will start at 2.6 or 2.8Ghz and will only get to 3.2 after 3-4months...

What do you think?

It will launch at 3.2GHz on the desktop side (single socket systems) and then be followed by 2.66GHz and 2.93GHz before hte years end.

I'd expect Apple to have 2.8GHz, 3.06GHz (or 3.07 depending on how Intel rounds it off) and 3.2GHz available when the new Mac Pros ship next year.

This is for use in multiprocessor servers (4 slots), the clock speeds are lower than the current harpertowns. This is old old old old news, I remember reading about this in February.

Dunnington, alas, will not work in the current Mac Pro systemboard, so we won't see it in an Apple product.

And it looks like Intel will be shipping the single-CPU Nehalem solutions first. September will be a "paper launch" with actual product not becoming available until October.

So Gainestown might not be available before 2009 and as such we might not see a Nehalem Mac Pro at MacWorld in January.
