hello,

Is there any chance the Intel nehalem CPU will run on the IP35 chipset?

[PsychoChimp]

No, it requires a new socket.

hello,

So is the penrynn the fastest chip on 775?

[Mick84]

Yes.

[PeterStoba]

Penryn is laptops.

Wolfdale and yorkfield the fastest on socket 775

[AD-15]

hello,

Are the nehalem motherboards available now then? Or will they be released with the CPU's?

[Mit321]

Not available yet, later on this year probably slightly earlier than most mainstream Nehalem CPU's so as to coincide with the ultra-expensive extreme editions which always come out first.

Rumour has it Intel are pushing the launch forward a bit:

I still very much doubt we'll be seeing the non-Extreme edition chips until Q1 2009 at the earliest.

[AD-15]

Do the CPU prices drop when the extreme editions arrive? Or only when the mainstraim processors come?

Thanks guys!

[Infinite]

probably all prices of Core2 will

Do the CPU prices drop when the extreme editions arrive? Or only when the mainstraim processors come?

When the top end Nehalem cores arrive later this year the only Core 2 prices that're likely to drop are Extreme Editions. It won't be until the lower Nehalem models are released next year that we'll see Core 2 prices across the board take any real hit.
