Intel Penryn 3.33GHz Quad-Core Benchmarks Released
Intel unveiled the first benchmark numbers of its recently announced Penryn quad-core processor, which runs at 3.33GHz, at the IDF event in Beijing, China. Intel presented the benchmark numbers of a Penryn 45nm quad-core processor running at 3.3GHz with a 1333MHz FSB and 12MB cache versus an Intel Core 2 Extreme processor QX6800 introduced last week at 2.93GHz with 1066FSB and 8MB cache. Another dual-core version of the Penryn family named Wolfdale with 6MB L2 cache was also included in the comparison. Intel said that the three test systems were configured with identical hardware, including Intel D975XBX2 BadAxe 2 motherboard, single GeForce 8800 GTX graphics card, 2GB of DDR2-800 memory with 5-5-5-15 timings, and a 32-bit version of Windows Vista Ultimate. The results are available below:

With that said, still looks awesome and I cant wait for them to come out.
other than 45nm, wat is different with the penryn that makes it better ?
Even the need for a clock for clock comparison is unnecessary sometimes. If a CPU can be clocked higher, why shouldnt it recieve the credit of doing so? Say in the future, barcelona turns out to be better clock for clock however penryn is able to beat it due to higher clock speed, which is the better CPU?
Oh how I wait for that day...
Either that or a HD 2900 :p
