I said games were the most likely candidate, 'I suspect', and then I have clarified the reasons why. The reason I'm not 100% sure is that games are also susceptible to memory latency too, see K8 vs K7, so it's hard to tell which effect is stronger in modern games, cache or memory latency, until the rubber hits the road. Anyway if there is any benchmark where Nehalem is worse than Penryn it will be obvious and pointed out by everyone. If there is none that will be obvious too, we just have to remember this conversation when all the reviews come out is all. If there is no commercially relevant application then the Nehalem designers have done their job well because only the 256KB L2 is better in this processor, cache wise. Message 24650647
