Intel's Penryn Benchmarked

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the slightly-faster-than-my-286 dept.

Steve Kerrison writes "Intel's keen to show off its up-coming 45nm Penryn Core 2 CPU. HEXUS had some hands on time with the new processor to get an idea of how well it will perform once its released: 'Intel's new 45nm Penryn core adds more than just a clock and FSB hike, so much so that even a dual-core Penryn is able to beat out a quad-core QX6800 under certain circumstances.'"

    The Penryn core is just the first. Wait for the Teller core to come out. It's slight of hand techniques tricks you into thinking it has actually out performed other chips.

    Where's the multi-page version you insensitive clod?

    I Kept searching for a multi-page option but I couldn't find one. After years of being conditioned to read articles over 12 pages or so, this layout just freaks me out. I couldn't find the combobox that let me jump to the conclusion. The page seemed way too long and daunting for me to process. And I kept expecting next links that never came!

    Take me back to the good old days where you could read a 12 page article and actually feel like you accomplished something.
