Although it would be interesting, why?
Core i7 wasnt even meant to be competitive that way. i7 can be included nonetheless, but rather if they at least have Agena, Kentsfield and Yorkfield included. i7 is seriously the last priority IMO:shrug:

The comparision is going to be made regardless, it is inevitable. I don't think he has to worry about whether i7 will show up in the reviews.
Agena, and Yorkfield will also no doubt show up ... review sites take one of two tacts ... they either compare top bins or they compare like price points ... it will be interesting if they take the time to generate any Yorkfield benchmarks with comparable price points that Deneb will show up with....
No, what I said i7 is, at least for me though, the least interesting. What Im saying is that before they add i7 to the tests, they should at least include Kentsfield/Yorkfield. i7 is fine, but at least put those in it as well;)
Or am I saying weird things now?:confused:
Yorkfield for sure, kentsfield is not too relevant anymore, bigger process, and all but EOL. But I think any sane review would match a pricepoint, and throw in top bins, to create contrast, of price and performance. A review without a yorkfield i agree wouldn't be as fully relevant as i would like it to be, but I can see the logic behind it as well.
If the i7 is the best chip in the desktop environment, of course they should put it in a review.
Review sites should always put a Price per performance charts in, so people know what they are getting for their cash. The i7, will no doubt struggle at the moment in this regard.
Yeah, Kentsfield is less important but might be interesting since they sell very cheap but shamefully didnt know they were EOL so in that case it's indeed quite questionable.
This was basicly what I was aiming at as well. But mainly first Yorkfield, then i7. But i7 is a desktop platform so should be included as well. Also the price of i7 920 ain't too bad IMO, the CPU is thus far priced the same as pre-order Ph II 940, but the rest of the platform is priced higher, although then again it depends on what you get, whether you OC etc.
Anyway, lets not go the platform price comparison way again since it depends on a lot of factors actually:p:
I know most bencmark tested are application used for sever
But in media encoding and 3d rendering which are used by many normal users, the 2.7GHz Shanghai performed worse than 2.66GHz Xeon (look at the tech-report review)
better is relative.
Is the top bin deneb going to be 'better' than the top bin yorkfield. No.
So under your logic, we might as well not bother reviewing it.
What we care about here is, is it new and shiny? Is it relatively cheap for it's performance and if so, does it overclock?
It's all about price per performance, or to some price per watt.
The top performing CPU is great to know but most on this forum like to see those results, while buying a cheaper but better overclocking chip.
Yeah, we all know that Nehalem is still king of the hill performance wise, but we just want to know whether Deneb can be the quadcore for the masses, replacing Q6600, quadcore champ for the poor OCer out there. If it's good enough, Yorkfield price will be adjusted, Nehalem might see adjustment too, everybody wins.
Idle 26 degrees? :O

AMD's yesterday during a Phenom ıı meeting we also have news on the way. The Company for promotion of the Phenom 940 ıı Black Edition işlemcili system and the for a short time pass the time of the opportunity to have conducted.

Phenom ıı işlemcileriyle performance point more competitive and ambitious solutions sets the stage, THE AMD the same time power consumption and down the noted. 140 Watt TDP have to the level of the the 2.6GHz and the 'working Phenom 9950 model to the contrary 45nm production technology, the level 6MB memory 3 with and equip 3GHz in the Phenom of the 940 ıı THREATENING TDP of the level of 125 as a watt set.

giving idle temps without ambient temps is worthless. :p:
But it looks like they used a scythe orochi as cooler for this one. :)
anyway some news about prices fastest deneb will be cheaper than slowest nehalem
I hope sxs112 would show us more... maybe benches? :up:
