Nehalem will be the next new microarchitecture from Intel. It is expected to bring significant performance improvements and raise the already (for AMD painfully) high bar. Nehalem will also be Intel's first native quad-core. Over at Chinese website XFastest a user posted a screenshot with what he claims to be a Nehalem processor running at 2.66GHz (thread has been removed). He fed it SuperPi 1M and it devoured it. The screenshot shows 8.328 seconds. If this is real ... I just can't think of anything to say ...
If you feed the data into the validator you get an incorrect checksum and the CPU-Z is horribly out of date. Consider it with a truckloads and truckloads of salt.
Update: Fake.
