Hey!
Use google, see what i found :
Nehalem is the codename for an Intel processor microarchitecture, successor to the Core microarchitecture. The first processor released with the Nehalem architecture is the desktop Core i7, which was released on November 15, 2008 in Tokyo and November 17, 2008 in the USA. The first computer to use Nehalem-based Xeon processors was the Mac Pro workstation announced on March 3, 2009. Nehalem-based Xeon EX processors for larger servers are expected in Q4 2009. Mobile Nehalem-based processors will follow in 2010.

So did you get it now? Nehalem is just the technology of manufacturing the new processors....!
