Pretty amazing that most of the benchmarks had latency and bandwidth problems and still offered substantial improvements, but I want overclocking results :D

This early and still looking that potent. 20-50% increases?

Nice.

I am thinking my penryn will move to my living room, replacing my existing HTPC and the Nehalem will move to be my gaming system :D

Sadly, the first-gen Nehalems won't have 8 real cores, just 4 cores w/ 2 threads each, as the Pentium 4 was with Hyper-Threading. The first 8 core will be Nehalem-EX aka Beckton, due in Q4 of 2009; it's more meant for the server market too I think.
