BAD HARDWARE WEEK

Intel introduces socket B LGA1366
For Bloomfied , Nehalem quad cores with 8-12MB L2 supported by VRM 11.1 specification. Bloomfield is native quad core, and uses Intels CSI with 8 connections, a copy of AMD's Hypertransport, only 6 years old in 2009. Intel hopes to break 4 Ghz limit with Bloomfield. That's nice pace, 3 Ghz limit Intel broke in 2002 and 2 Ghz in 2001.

Interestingly to note is that Nehalem will be ready about the same time frame with AMD Shangai quad core that will use integrated 6MB L3.
