Super re designed cache usage for multi threaded apps.

And this is a great chipset that has proven to work very well w/ 64bit apps using 8GB's of DDRII RAM. I really like this idea,

Apparently, this won't happen:

"The socket is noticeably bigger than LGA-775 as is the mounting area for heatsinks. You can't reuse LGA-775 heatsinks and instead must use a heatsink with mounting holes more spread apart. As far as we can tell, the same push-pin mounting mechanism from LGA-775 is present in Nehalem which is disappointing."
