Early B0 Stepping Nehalem Benchies 
If you're like us and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Intel's Nehalem then you may just enjoy this little snippet.

According to the screenshot, Nehalem's multithreading performance is at around 50% increase over an equivilently clocked QX9650.

Will Nehalem be the AMD 'killer' as predicted? Hopefully not, but I can't see anything competitive enough coming from the AMD camp anytime soon.
