    What changed now?
    NDA ? You still bench !
    When AMD had 64-bit and Intel had only 32-bit, they tried to tell the world there was no need for 64-bit. Until they got 64-bit.
    When AMD had IMC and Intel had FSB, they told the world "there is plenty of life left in the FSB" (actual quote, and yes, they had *math* to show it had more bandwidth). Until they got an IMC.
    When AMD had dual core and Intel had single core, they told the world that consumers don't need multi core. Until they got dual core.
    When intel was using MCM, they said it was a better solution than native dies. Until they got native dies. (To be fair, we knocked *unconnected* MCM, and still do, we never knocked MCM as a technology, so hold your flames.)

    Thank you, OverClocker_gr, for your hard work, but please ignore vietthanhpro. He doesn't want to believe your review simply because the NDA hasn't ended yet. I guess nothing can convince him now. (And no, he's not lo squartatore. I can confirm it. )

    Based on OverClocker_gr's results, I have made a table comparing Core i7 920 2.66GHz with Turbo Mode on with Phenom 2 920 2.80GHz. With one more speed bin, the Core i7 should be at 2.80 too, so I think it's good for clock-for-clock comparison.

    thanks for the comaro.. only thing i the Cinebench scores for i7 are all wrong?? perhaps you've grabbed 64bit scores for i7, and 32bit for phenom as the i7 scores are higher than they should be if all 32bit.

    cheers

    Thank you very much for taking the time to do that, Vozer; however, I was more interested in the clock-per-clock comparisons of Yorkfield to Deneb. I knew Deneb wouldn't catch i7. That thing is Godzilla on steroids.

    For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
