Intel Dual Core Xeon Benchmarked

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lackluster-performance dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A few weeks back, Intel launched a new dual core chip with little applause. It appears we know now why, as the chip has been benchmarked by the chaps at GamePC. In tests against the dual core AMD Opteron processor, Intel's new chip gets thoroughly thrashed, losing out in terms of raw performance while eating a lot more power. "

    Why is it that every time I see a story about this processor, I keep thinking about the Star Trek Nazi episode?
