If what I read was correct from PCworld, it was the 6 core that was coming out soon, Nehalem isn't coming out till 2010 (at least for consumers). I'm no computer geek but I don't think many games support 6, let alone 8. However, the upside to Nehalem is the fact that power consumption scales depending on what you are doing, for the times when you aren't using all 8, it will only use what is needed rather than use up more power than necessary.

Will I upgrade to that? I doubt it. It's going to cost a bundle to get, especially if it first comes out. Although I am getting a new computer when it releases though in hopes of the quad core will drop in price.
