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."

    Strafe does not mean the same thing as sidestep. We at Wikipedia would appreciate any insight you can offer as to the origins of your illiteracy.

      Ever seen a man strafing? It looks fucking weird. Only Jim Carrey can do a good strafe.

      Wall-running is an entirely different proposition. That shit is for freaks.

    Penryn? Wolfdale? Yorkfield? I wonder if Intel hasn't run out of names and started naming their processors after English Teddy Bears.
