This afternoon, Intel confirmed to BetaNews what its executive vice president, Pat Gelsinger, inadvertently revealed in comments to reporters several weeks ago, and what the Wall Street Journal learned this morning after having read The Register from several days ago: Intel's second generation of 45nm CPU architecture, code-named "Nehalem," will integrate memory controllers typically featured in the northbridge component of Intel chipsets, into the CPU itself.

Do I smell an AMD patent battle looming?

Doubt it, they have been "trading" technology for quite a few years now.
Honestly, it is about time

Didn't Intel state that on-board controllers suck?

I never thought I'd live to hear this.

i can't see why a built in memory controller would suck...

but i woudl suspect that a fairly major socket change would be required.
