It is. Nehalem sucks at games--so did Pentium 4. Nehalem has hyperthreading--so did Pentium 4. Nehalem kicks ass at multimedia--so did Pentium 4. Nehalem runs hot--so did Pentium 4. Nehalem codename was supposed to be a Pentium 4 (~2000) with Common System Interface (CSI). CSI is now known as "QuickPath Interface." Nehalem was scraped and revived many times until about a year prior to the release of Core 2. Everything about Nehalem screams Netburst.
There's only two things different about Nehalem that wasn't there on the original Netburst codename: multi-core and turbo mode. Multi-core because the dual- and quad-core revolution didn't start until 2005 and turbo mode was a revival from the 286, 386, and 486. I have no idea why they did. Perhaps it is because Nehalem has a core clock of 133 MHz so 1x or 2x more on the multiplier isn't going to hurt anything.
So basically when I upgraded from a Pentium 4 560 (Prescott) to a Core i7 920 I just "modernized" more or less?
