You wont be noticing any significant performance increase in gaming from your current C2D to a yorkfield, its a good move to wait for the native octacores instead.

120W ?

Yes a TDP of beyond 120watts, i would guess its between 120 ~ 165 at most.

@EarlZ & fellow istoryans:

Here's another source. :mrgreen:

Here's an interesting bit:

Perhaps the most ambitious aspect of Nehalem? For the first time in 18 years Intel will pair its processors cores up with on-die memory controllers. AMD made the switch to on-die memory controllers in 2003. For the next three years its processors were almost unmatched by Intel's offerings. The on-die memory controller can't come a moment too soon. Intel will also roll out tri-channel DDR3 with the Nehalem, and all that extra bandwidth can only be put to use if there are no bottlenecks.

So its possible the the Dunnington could use an onboard memory controller?

As stated on the news article, Dunnington will be using 3 sets of wolfdale cores. the IMC will be a Nahalem specific feature.
