It said the the new direct memory controller was equivlent to 1600 MHz FSB on the old Pentium4/Core2 generations, so it would be faster than the Penryns, which went up to 1333 MHz. Now the Core 2 extreme was capable of 1600 FSB with an X48 chipset. Has anybody done a comparison of that with the Nehalems?
