Nehalem is Intel’s investment in the future and K10 was the same for AMD. It did turn out to be good in 45nm, and both Shanghai and Deneb K10.5 are doing quite well, but the next big new thing comes in 2011.

AMD calls this product Bulldozer and it comes after Magny-cores 12 core server CPU that is planned for 2010. It looks like Bulldozer might be coming in 2011 after all, but it is obvious that AMD plans to have six core to fight Intel’s. 

It is interesting that Nigel Dessau, AMD’s executive vice president of marketing spinning, has confirmed this in his blog here.
