Absolutely, the first Bloomfield socket will be the highend, expect Extreme edition Nehalem processors in late Q3 or Q4, with the mainstream solutions based on a different socket (yes, different sockets =(...one high end and one mainstream, as well as a MP socket design). The boards still have a northbridge, but they are VERY MUCH simplified considering the new QPI interface and IMC (Integrated memory controller).
