    Actually, that's misleading. The processor may be 40% faster on the game, but that doesn't mean the game will be.

    Games are more GPU dependent for the most part so I don't believe this supposed 40% gaming performance increase. From either company. Maybe in only a couple games that need gobs of CPU power like supreme commander but for most, most likely not.

    Remember how Intel likes to brag about their stuff, while AMD stays quiet...We'd be lucky to get benchmarks of a K10 ES within a week of it being released.

    actually AMD was talking about K8 over a year before it hit retail and even then it was a knock out
    Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

    We already have some benchmarks ...

    But for server APPS
    Low number of benchmarks, but AMD said the average perf of K10/kentfield-clovertow.

    I recognize that it is not so much, but it is always better than nothing...

    It had a list of clockspeeds. I don't know what you thought the link was for.

    Barcelona is a server chip. Them server admins don't play games.

    And Barcelona is not a desktop chip but an opteron. AMD showed servers benchmarks on it.
    I think Penryn is coming Q4 07.

    We have NO k10 benchmarks yet.

    No clockspeed, no benchmark

    I think this battle will be about even this round. AMD have a strong CPU and a architectural advantage while Intel has a pure CPU advantage. I'm rather excited to be honest, to see both companies getting close to releasing new chips like this. My money will go to both companies at the end of the year for the first time, I'll buy a a R600/650 and a Penryn.

    As for people saying each company is full of crap, they are simply telling the truth in its very best light, you just take it with some salt. I'm impressed with the progress they've both made in the last 24 months.

    With the Conroe Intel could be blunt and lay the truth on the line, its nice to see them attempt to continue this trend by giving us numbers that are a little more clear than AMD's. They are becoming more open, true they are still bloodthirsty bastards but this change of pace from the giant has to be applauded.

    With Barcelona AMD fans have to remember that the first benches will be shown with the R600, AMD aren't just selling CPU's anymore they are selling an entire package. For once, AMD will have the tailor made chipsets that Intel have had enjoyed for so long.

    When the P4 faced the A64 the biggest change seen 12 months down the line was dual core. Now we're facing fusion, the futures bright indeed eh?

    Article from the following link
    http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=8437

    The Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2007 has centred around the company's roadmap over the next year or so.

    Whilst we've heard it ad nauseum, it's no surprise that Intel's messaging in practically all of the keynotes has centred around the move to a 45nm process technology for its Core microarchitecture. After all, Intel, primarily, is a fab-owning semiconductor company and churning out new, improved processors is the main name of the game.

    Gordon Moore, Intel's doyen, has described the move to 45nm production, made possible by the use of high-k and metal transistors, as "the biggest change in transistor technology since the introduction of polysilicon gate MOS transistors in the late 1960s."

    The next iteration of Core, codenamed Penryn, will harness this technology to bolster the architecture with additional features.

    Intel is keen to point out that upcoming Penryn processors, be they dual- or quad-core models, are more than just process shrinks. The wonderful 45nm process technology is grabbing all the headlines and key performance-boosting features aren't receiving the exposure they deserve, according to some Intel representatives. The reduction in process brings about no real intrinsic gains; the benefit arises from what it allows you to add in without upsetting the TDP cart, be it cache, extra ISA, or frequency headroom.

    With that in mind, HEXUS was invited to compare the performance of both the dual-core (Wolfdale) and quad-core (Yorkfield) Penryn-based processors, albeit in Intel-controlled conditions. Read on to see if the additional features, which we covered in detail here are worth the upgrade.
    link to the testing under intel's conditions:
    http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=8233

    *EDIT*
    looks they have a few tid-bits on Nehalem proc as well.

    you will see it in a week (when AMD will show K10+R600 system)

    AMD already has buggy 45nm's, they don't work unlike penryn but exist

    PS intel's test system was rinning Vista 32 bit, so I suppose they didn't enable macrofusion technology in 64bit mode

    Intel plans to upgrade the cache on dual and quad-core Penryn-family products. Dual-core Yorkfield processors gain an additional 2MB of L2 cache for a total of 6MB. Quad-core Wolfdale processors, which are essentially two Yorkfield’s sandwiched together, feature 12MB of L2 cache. Intel’s current Kentsfield quad-core processor only has 8MB of L2 cache.
    Is that a typo by DT? or did Intel decide to change stuff?

    Most Cache tweaking designs for applications limit themselves to 16kb because anything over that can significantly reduce performance. (Games never design to efficiently use L2 Cache but they make sure as heck they make use of L1)

    Actually that's "few" thus my reasoning for using most

    Tell us more about that. Do they have 32nm and 22nm also?

    Entertain us more please.
    Does the higher frequency results in lower gaming performance also?
