First Shanghai benchmark results.

One strange(?) thing about these tests is that big sites in english seems to be more positive compared to sites from other countries.

Here is a picture from a swedish review of i7

Absolute max. power consumption of ci7 is higher then for C2Q, but if you compare it running the same apps (as anand did) they need less power for the same task. The 4 "virtual cores" have a price.

Sometimes i wonder why people dont critize that 4 cores need more power then 2 cores more often.
Now you have the same, people complain that 4+4 cores need more power then 4 cores.

btw does anyone have power consumption comparsions with SMT/Turbo disabled for Ci7 to C2D?
