Intel Shows Off 8-Core 45nm Penryn Benchmarks

[Jacky]

wow, just wow, their timing seems to be just great. whenever there are barcelona numbers intel shows how much better they are.
at least their merkating is up to the task and much better than AMD's

i hope they can deliver (high clocks 3,3ghz+ and ~10% average ipc improvement), otherwise penryn may get its ass spanked as soon as barcelona clocks in at 2,6ghz (edit: maybe something like 2.8+) or higher..
