I read 2936 ;-). I suspect games will be the main example of what I'm saying.

Re: I think you need glasses, mas. The Nehalem score is 26% higher.

Anandtech made an error on the Penryn single-thread Cinebench test. The correct score for Penryn is 2931 (compared to 3015 for Nehalem).

anandtech.com

Cinebench shows us only a 2% increase in core-to-core performance from Penryn to Nehalem at the same clock speed. For applications that don't go out to main memory much and can stay confined to a single core, Nehalem behaves very much like Penryn.
