No-one knows how Nehalem responds to bandwidth yet, so tricky to say. However there might be a number of other differences between bloomfield and the rest, like ability to adjust CPU clock and possibly hyper-threading.

Then again lynnfield parts might have a PCI-E interconnect built in, enabling very fast connection to graphics card.
