    Hm... I wonder if that is Intel's?

    I think Dunnington is so overkill. Unless you're a hardcore Supreme Commander fan.

    No doubt. I guess only professionals requiring high-end systems could truly make use of SIX CORES!! :\

    I can easily use 6 cores ^_^, could easily mean hours and even days less waiting for a render.

    Wouldn't it fit in a skulltrail board as it is a server-board? Or are they putting out a new socket for it?

    Not sure about Dunnington, but i think the 8core Nehelam is going to be a brand new socket. Kinda makes sense when its two quads in one socket, probably need something more powerful that LGA771

    Nehalem be socket 1366 http://sunnytalkstech.blogspot.com/2007/10/intel-nehalem-will-be-socket-lga-1366.html

    Dunnington may be the last one for LGA771 it seems
