Nehalem is Intel's next microarchitecture and it should arrive sometime before the end of the year. Intel has displayed Nehalem-based systems at IDF and even though no specific performance indications have been released, seeing a dual-core workstation with two native quad-cores running sixteen simultaneous threads is simply impressive. Even though we still don't know much more since Intel decided to unveil more details on Nehalem a few days ago, we now have pictures of a pre-production motherboard codenamed Smackover.
Perhaps not the most exciting pictures of a motherboard, but it's nice to see that things are moving forward at Intel.
