Performance Comparison of Current Intel Core 2 CPUs
crazyeyes writes "Intel has way too many Core 2 processor models. No one really knows if it's worth paying $100 more for a Core 2 Quad, instead of a Core 2 Duo. And when tech websites start interjecting codenames like Wolfdale, Kentsfield and Yorkfield, you know the battle is lost. All we want is a simple guide on the REAL WORLD performance differences between the many Intel Core 2 processors. How do they perform in games like Crysis, 3D rendering software, video encoding software, etc.? Fortunately, there is such a guide — just simple comparisons of the relative performance of these CPUs."

NVIDIA's newest top-of-the-line card is the 9800. I'm using a 9800 right now -- only it was produced by ATI some four years ago.
The (mild) confusion brought by NVIDIA's naming scheme wouldn't be an issue if ATI's 9800 series was shoddy or unspectacular. But the cards are so good that many people still use them today.
