I agree if you want to 'challenge' someone to a benchmark create a thread for it. Alternatively, there are probably a hundred reviews by now detailing how much faster i7 is than penryn at any given task..
Xello,

So you recommend that I lower everything else except vcc, vqi/vtt and dram back to stock and give it a go?

I can give that a shot later this evening.
