IDF 07 SF: Skulltrail, QX9650, 45nm Performance Preview
During a closed-session demonstration of Skulltrail and 45nm processors, we saw first-hand what 45nm offerings will deliver when compared to current products. We walk away with assurance that Skulltrail is extreme and also that SSE4 can make a huge impact in multi-media tasks.
You can read the article here and are welcome to leave comments in this thread.

What exactly is Intel trying to prove with the first benchmark series? Two 8800GTXs are better than one? 4gb RAM (edit: 3gb w/ 32bit OS) is better than 2? Oh, wait, it must be the processor...
The SSE4 bench was nice. Last edited by NicePants42; 09-20-2007 at 05:39 PM. |

It really wasn't a fair comparison, and Intel openly admitted that. So yeah, you are right, it wasn't a fair playing field but it's coolness was undeniable. Look for a more level comparison when we start testing Yorkfield in house.
