Bill Calder over at the Technology@Intel blog today revealed that Intel would begin selling its Nehalem-based Core i7 processors in November.

Nehalem-based Core i7 CPUs go on sale Nov 17

The trouble is, November is a pretty long month and it could fall on any day within. We can confirm that the first Core i7 processors will be on shop shelves November 17th in North America and November 18th in Asia and Australia.

Most major motherboard companies already have their X58 Express based motherboard ready, others are applying final tweaks and others have already even started shipping final samples in preparation for the big CPU launch next month.

Have you saved your dollars for the upgrade? If not, you better start - time is running out!
