The beginning of Core i7 dominance
We believed that Intel plans to launch Nehalem in week 46, but it looks like this CPU will launch on the first day of week 47. Multiple sources have told Fudzilla that Intel has fixed its launch date for the Bloomfield/Core i7 generation of CPUs for November 17th.
This is also the day when most motherboard manufacturers are going to launch their new X58 boards, and there will be many triple-channel DDR3 kits launching at the same time.
