However it begs the question what the hell kind of screwed up mess did he use to get those Penryn benchmarks. They are terrible but he obviously knows what he is doing, so I could only think he lowballed the Penryn results on purpose to make the story more sensational and dramatic.
Hmm interesting point there.Could be the case,but we need to see the actual independent confirmation(or negation) with the retail production units.At least we now roughly see what kind of numbers Nehalem produces@2.66Ghz,so users with Penryn can compare and see for themselves,as you did.
