Some Words on The Dual Core EE

after reading this, I was extremely impressed with this part of the article.

Update: At the demo Intel showed the 3.2 GHz quad-thread (dual core) system run a test on CineBench 2003 with four threads in the render test. The test completed in 37.8 seconds. Looking at my recent DFI nF4 SLI-DR motherboard review the best AMD score for that same test (using only a single thread of course) was 77 seconds and the best Intel score was 69.6 seoncds. That is an 84% improvement over the Intel 560 processor and a 103% over the AMD 4000+ results. If we can get performance like this out of other, multi threaded applications as well as in multitasking, AND with SLI coming on the new nForce Intel chipset, then we may see Intel on the PC Per Hardware Leaderboard for the first time...
thats some rather impressive hardware to get that kinda time on cinebench.
of course, thats only for multithreading and such, still not much use in games and all, but still, a PC with this CPU should work as smooth as butter with 4 threads possible.
