If those numbers hold up and are indicative of the final silicon, which seems plausible, AMD is cooked. They will have no where left to hide, unless they plan on selling their top end CPU's for $50.
Maybe I'm over reacting.
I'm amazed at how Intel is able to improve upon Conroe so fast. Conroe is already a high IPC beast. To go above that by leaps and bounds is simply amazing. I'm speechless.
too bad they didnt test any single threaded bench
Why would they do that? That would be like testing a high performance V8 with 7 spark plugs removed.Quote:

AMD is looking more and more cooked everyday. If intel positions their current releases as mid to low end and nehalem as the top end, AMD will become Cyrix(uncompetitive chips at all ends). And with AMD current financial situation, that could mean death for both AMD and ATI. With Intel's direct attack on NV works and if larabee's a crazy monster, it will have basically a monopoly on everything. I am probaly overreacting(especially the Larabee thing), but core 2 decimated AMD into a shell of its formerself. Another attack like that AMD will never survive.
Hail to the new monopoly of INTEL:(
Anyways why is Larabee supposed to be such a monster. On XS its hyped to be the second coming of christ. I haven't heard anything about it for performance.
Yeeeez, oh god! Ill take two to go please!
OMG it's incredible look at raw power 3d rendering from 25-40% WHOA
I hear a giant sucking sound, the sound of AMD's hopes of survival going down the drain.
I for one don't welcome my new Intel overlords.
Smoked and baked! I hope the power consumption can be tweaked, even tho its still alot better performance/watt.
Intel's new toy is even faster then i thought.
The ATI branch will get sold off and keep truckin just fine.
2 Things. This is not final silicon or platform, so in theory performance should improve. Secondly, why is there an entire tube of TIM on the CPU. :shrug:
All tests run with high latency and singlechannel? :xQuote:
We had access to a 2.66GHz Nehalem for the longest time, unfortunately the motherboard it was paired with had some serious issues with memory performance. Not only was there no difference between single and triple channel memory configurations, memory latency was high. We know this was a board specific issue since our second Nehalem platform didn't exhibit any issues. Unfortunately we didn't have access to the more mature platform for very long at all, meaning the majority of our tests had to be run on the first setup (never fear, Nehalem is fast enough that it didn't end up mattering
So Hector, whatcha gonna do now? AMD has a few rabbits to pull out of their hat, right? :shocked:
looks awesome. I was a convert to Intel only 2n half years ago. I hope to see AMD throw in on this withbobcat for the mobile arena and whatever wild animal name chips they have coming up..forgot the names..
tomcat?
AMD get it together:rolleyes:
Well well, Intel certainly wants AMD gone...don't they?
I'm not suprised about this , it's been 2years sincs conroe so, normal speed boost and not impressed at all :)
The Emperor has arrived, well almost, good to see that we have a solid speed bump incomming.:clap:
I just pray that (like alot of ES chips) performance dosen't go down, it's happened before!....all this early stuff gets us all excited but then you get retail and performance is half what early numbers suggested.
This is really more than I dared hope for!
Incredible!!!
:shocked:
Even if it goes down, im sure the performance will go up when memory latency aint high on a faulty board and running in singlechannel mode.Quote:
