Re: Overall the gains are decent, but nothing spectacular. For a shrink design, it's nothing short of amazing. Intel has never received these kinds of gains from shrinks before. Seeing games at 8.5% - 16.7%, plus the excellent HL2 improvement of 31.1%, is very encouraging! Re: The improvement in power consumption is quite good. Performance/watt is excellent which should make Penryn great for notebooks and cause problems for Griffin. Merom is already a big problem for Griffin, given that Griffin does not use the K10 core. Penryn just pours salt in the wounds by vastly improving the power side of the equation, which was already a strong point for Merom. Re: Server power consumption could be excellent as well if Intel would provide a DDR2/3 option. Intel does have a DDR2 server option for the low end called San Clemente. For the higher end segments, what Intel really needs is a lower power buffer chip for their FB-DIMMs.
