how is amd gonna counter this

Dli jud na papilide ang AMD, once there is a competition, they will always compete in any way - just like the softdrinks war

So if your planning for SLI you're stuck with 780i or 790i. And say goodbye to Nehalem processors for Nvidia card users. Hehehe.

wrong. Nehalem users CAN use nVIDIA cards. there's just no official SLI support.

yeah. hopefully.

"this industry is fiercely competitive and working is compelling" and that the market will reward companies when they "perform and execute." If "they falter and under-perform the market responds accordingly".

Yeah there is no official support for SLI. Just like using SLI for an X38 or X48 chipset.

grabe na!!! nehalem is easily 20%-50% faster than Penryn, clock for clock. what intel did to AMD in 2006, it is doing to itself today!

sus kalami ani sa. i know amd will bring back there downfall

You can read the preview here...
New socket is needed for Nehalem... LGA 1366

chika minute from tom's hardware.

The most impressive part however, was Nehalem’s clock speed, which we were told and can confirm was far beyond anything available on the market today. Although we can’t reveal how fast the actual clock speed was at, keep in mind that several months ago, we took a look at a Penrynchip running at 4 GHz. The Nehalem part is definitely within the same ballpark as PenrynOn - and air cooled non the less.

hyperthreading is back, with avengeance. i wonder how much these chips would cost.
