The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Wikipedia's[2] Nehalem page gives November 11, 2008 for the launch but lists the Core i7 965X as released November 17, 2008; the later date is used because it is the dated SKU release.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
Flagship desktop SKU of each generation, from the specs and launch prices on each generation's pin (Wikipedia). 1st gen is the Extreme Edition i7-975X; the i7-14900K stands in for 13th and 14th gen. Prices are recommended customer prices; Intel's ARK lists different figures for some chips (e.g. i9-12900K, i9-10900K), so they are approximate.
