Clock for clock Yorkfield is still on top in just about anything.Kentsfield performs excellently considering its 400/600MHz disadvantage.At the same clockspeed I'd say Kentsfield is going to win more benchmarks than it loses.This is normal , btw , a Phenom with a larger cache isn't going to walk over Core , much to the surprise of others.

As for Nehalem , once graphic drivers optimized for it appear on the market , it will enjoy a healthy boost , eliminating strange corner cases where it falls behind at larger resolutions.
