Anandtech Previews Intel’s Nehalem
06.05.08 - 08:52am
I just feel obligated to call to everyones attention that Nehalem looks to be a multi-threaded monster. While at Computex in Taiwan, Anandtech managed to snag two Nehalem systems, one at 2.66Ghz and one at 2.93GHz. Using pre-production boards with some serious bugs slightly impacted the scores recorded but even with these penalties, Nehalem bested an equally clocked Yorkfield. Roughly guessing from these results, Nehalem will walk all over AMD’s Phenom and quite possibly the 45nm Shanghai shrink unless the cache latencies are addressed. I look forward to the Nehalem launch, it promises to be as big as the original Conroe launch that seems to be so long ago.
