Yonah/Sossaman benchmarked

[Carfax]

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted in this forum. ComputerBase benched both a Sossaman and Yonah chip using the Cinebench 2003 benchmark:



Keep in mind that the score for the 2ghz Yonah is a projection based on the score attained by the 1.5ghz version; assuming it scaled linearly.

With that in mind, it looks disappointing. But, they were using the Lindenhurst chipset for a platform and that uses DDR2-400 only, so that would reduce the scores considerably.

Also, my German is non-existent but if you look at the CPU-Z screenshot, it shows the chip was running at 600FSB with a multiplier of 2.5 which is obviously jacked up.

I think the chip is really running at 150 FSB (150x4=600FSB due to quad pump) with a multiplier of 10.

The retail Yonah is supposed to run at 166 FSB, and use DDR2-667. With these enhancements, I'd expect Yonah to be equal clock for clock to a dual core X2 with 2MB of L2 cache in Cinebench.
