Perhaps you're the one that needs to stare for a few days until facts sink in. 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. Remember that outside of the memory architecture and HT tweaks to the core, Nehalem's list of improvements are very specific (e.g. faster unaligned cache accesses). The only game benchmark run showed inferior performance to a Kenstfield. Message 24736280
