Intel Nehalem finally gets a name! Intel Core i7

Intel has announced the official name for the upcoming Nehalem processors.  The Core i7, regardless of the processor or speed, will have a whole new model naming scheme.  Intel will debut 3 Bloomfield SKU numbers in Q4 of this year.  The benchmarks look promising, outperforming the currect Core 2 Duo architecture, but there’s a drawback.  There will be a completely new socket, no more backwards compatibility like in the previous processors and socket LGA 775.
