Intel Harpertown (Penryn) Quad CPUs Benchmarked

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the we-have-the-technology dept.

unts writes "The Intel Developer Forum is currently running in San Francisco, and Intel is showing off the up-coming Harpertown processors based on the Penryn core. HEXUS got hands on with a test system and ran some performance tests: 'Harpertown is a better quad-core processor than Clovertown: it's as simple as that. More L2 cache will gobble-up larger application data-sets and a higher FSB, on select models, will ensure that per-CPU bandwidth is less of a concern.'"

  1. Nothing but a press release by drspliff · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The article is extremely thin on the promised "benchmark" and looks like a fairly standard press release.

    Information in real CPU benchmarks: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/
    Information in the press release "benchmark": about:blank

    Give me graphs, comparisons with other models in the same series & other CPUs, information about power draw & heat etc. Not adverts, details I can find out anyway and dont really care about etc.
