Nehalem to become Core i7 processor

[maroon1]

Intel have decided to brand Nehalem with a new name “Core i7″. That means no matter Bloomfield, Lynnfield, or Havendale will officially get their name.

There will be 3 Bloomfield to enter PC market later this year, and the 999USD top-of-the-line Bloomfield is the only Core i7 Extreme Edition processor current revealed.

All i7 processors and i7 Extreme Edition processor will be officially announced in Aug 11st, launch date set to Q4 this year.

Weird name, I thought they would call it Core 3

$999 isn't too outrageous for an Extreme edition cpu I guess. As long as you get what you pay for.

Core 3 would have made allot more sense. At least the logos look good though.
