QUOTE

We've been told to expect a 20 - 30% overall advantage over Penryn and it looks like Intel is on track to delivering just that in Q4. At 2.66GHz, Nehalem is already faster than the fastest 3.2GHz Penryns on the market today. At 3.2GHz, I'd feel comfortable calling it baby Skulltrail in all but the most heavily threaded benchmarks. This thing is fast and this is on a very early platform, keep in mind that Nehalem doesn't launch until Q4 of this year.

a bit on the cooler:

issues concerning 9800x2

area61 — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 19:50:01 +0800

I've read that the 9800GX2 should come out around the $450-550 range. It's going to use 250 watts or more and will make INSANE amounts of heat. It will have two 65nm chips, and "potentially" have 2Gigs of memory.

So unless you have an ultra high res monitor, this card won't be worth the cost over something like the 3870x2 or a single 9800***. Just like the G80 Ultra is faster than the G80 GTX, but the Ultra isn't really worth the extra cost. By the time the 9800GX2 comes out the 3870x2 will probably drop in price and have much better drivers to boot.

Sorry that all my info comes from Fudzilla, but it seems to have the most collected information on the card and it also seems to be backed up by other sites as well.
