FUD Zilla reports Intel is already shipping Socket H1 LGA1160 interposer boards with VR test tool kits. The first LGA1160 processors, codenamed Lynnfield, will arrive in Q3 2009.
The product is called Socket H1 LGA 1160 interposer board and it comes with VR test tool kit. It can be yours for $250. We are sure that you have to qualify to buy something like this but Intel has already publicly said that the new socket for mainstream Nehalems is 1160 pin.

The only major difference between first to come Lynnfield Quad core mainstream Nehalem and Bloomfield is that Lynnfield has dual memory controller while Bloomfield has three way memory controller and should run a bit faster. Overall cheaper Nehalems are coming but until than the mainstream will be ruled by Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Duo CPUs in P45 and alike motherboards.
