Intel's Penryn Core Part II First Performance Benchmarks, The Power of SSE4
(Author: MS, April 18, 2007)

Gaming Benchmarks

Nothing makes the PC world tick as much as gaming and one of the favorite benchmarks here that is cross-platform compatible is still 3DMark'06 CPU benchmark.

In Halflife2, that does not appear to benefit from more than 2 cores, the Wolfdale and Yorkfield processors are in a dead race but deliver another blow to the older Conroe design

Final Words

The latest Intel processor family based on the 45 nm "Penryn" core has finally been christianed, Yorkfield and Wolfdale are the new code names and both of them show that performance is still not stagnant with new designs. Even in benchmarks where Intel had established already a lead over AMD, that gap has widened (with the caveat that we still need to confirm the benchmarks before the final verdict).
