Quick and Dirty Penryn Benchmarks

Posted by kdawson on from the they-don't-remember-quick-they-just-remembr-dirty dept.

An anonymous reader writes "So Intel has their quad-core Penryn processors all set and ready to launch in November. There are benchmarks for the dual-core Wolfdale all over the place, but this seems to be the first article to put the quad-core Yorkfield to the test. It looks like the Yorkfield is only about 7-8% faster than the Kentsfield with similar clock speeds and front-side bus."

  1. Re:Any AMD Barcelona Benchmarks? by eebra82 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I would think that AMD would be providing Barcelona benchmarks hand over fist, at this point, if they had something...

    There are two possible situations here:

    a) Barcelona is faster than Intel's current line-up and does not want to see Intel up the pace more by releasing such numbers.
    b) Barcelona is slower than Intel's current line-up and does not want its shares hit a new low, or perhaps buy some time to speed it up.
