A November timeframe for the first of Intel's, Nehalem microarchitecture derived, Core i7 CPUs has been quoted extensively in the press, these past few weeks.

Attempting to hone in a more precise timeframe, Fudzilla has received information from its sources indicating that Week 46 of 2008, that being between 10th and 14th November, is currently deemed as most likely.

However, it is also believed that end-users in Japan may be able to source Core i7 SKUs in early November and that when the time for Nehalem's launch arrives, there will be no shortage of X58 Tylersburg solutions to go around.
