The wait is almost over for anyone who has been anticipating Intel's upcoming processor lineup based on the Nehalem architecture. Citing un-named "industry sources," TGDaily says the new processors will launch on November 17, a little over one month from now. That won't be a paper launch either, as Intel CEO Paul Otellini said during the company's Q3 quarter conference call that Core i7 processors have already begun shipping.

While nothing is yet official, rumors regarding the three desktop processors expected to make the initial Core i7 debut remain unchanged from earlier speculation. These include the Core i7-965XE clocked at 3.2GHz, Core i7-940 clocked at 2.93GHz, and Core i7-920 clocked at 2.66GHz. According to those same sources, pricing in thousand tray quantities will be set at $999, $562, and $284 for the 965XE, 940, and 920 respectively.

Also coinciding with the desktop parts, Intel is expected to release high-performance server chips codenamed Nehalem-EP.

They ship in a month and we still don't have any leaked serious benchmarks?

Depending on how they fare I'll build either a 920 or an E8500 in January! :)

Well actualy there wore alot of benches, just google it - and you will definetly find some. The problem is, that the benches clearly show, that it's more like "Gear-up for future apps" and for Server segment more than a regular desctop.. :\
