...Kentsfield easily shattered previous benchmarks records and highlighted its horsepower especially in threaded applications such as audio and video processing. The chip was able to set new record levels in traditional benchmarks such as 3DMark 05 and 3DMark 06 as well. Overall, Kentsfield turned out to be about twice as fast as the Pentium EE 965, while consuming about the same power. And while power consumption is up significantly from the Core 2 Extreme, the chip still undercuts the Pentium EE 840. ...
*Woa doggies! Q3 '06 and Q1 '07 look very promising when these start to mainstream. Just wait until the 3rd party mobo makers catch up with some hot overclocking boards that will take them up near the 4g mark and they should burn rubber in all gears!
