DDR3 IMC

Dedicated per core cache, plus a large shared cahce.

i wonder if it's going to be a whole gpu added on, or if each core will have 2-3 shader units

this thing looks crazy, up to 8 cores, integrated mem controller, variable super smart voltages on each core, forgot 45/32nm process but it's just loaded with cool features. Supposedly more enhancement to the basic core, even Fusion like g-chip integration variant in the plans. This could be a killer even the reading of specs makes hair stand up. Well good to know in a few years I can have a little super computer of my own right by my side.

Wow I'm getting pretty excited. But then again I'm biased because of my occupation. 😛

So if Nehalem will have an integrated graphics card, would it be possible to have the discrete cards power off and on depending on if they're needed? Seems like it would be a great way to save power, considering how much discrete cards use even when idle

According to everything I've read, they'll be starting fabrication sometime in 2008, which means, most likely, a 2009 release.

Nehalem looks like a monster of a chip. Holy crap...
