Anandtech benches Nehalem

[xlink]

Smoked and baked! I hope the power consumption can be tweaked, even tho its still alot better performance/watt.

first consider this - the tri chanel nehalem setup had one extra stick of RAM. that's what 5-10 W right there
they have 6 months to improve manufacturing...
do you really think that nehalem will launch using more power at a given clock speed? chanches are the chip itself will launch with TDP 5-10W lower than penryn.

this is quite a leap, it's what, 30-50% faster than conroe...

that + power saving features on the nehalem boards where most likely not working properly yet.
