On this page, we overclock the Core i7 950 to 3.4ghz, matching the speed of the 2600k. This is a good way to measure the architectural improvements between the new generation and the last generation.
A similar set of scaling improvements which we noted earlier during the 2500k element of the review. Again, we see a very slight reduction in performance from the SHA256 Cryptography test when both processors are at the same clock speeds.
Wow, those are mega processors. have to get me one
Great article and they really are good improvements. poor amd 🙁
These are certainly impressive, especially considering the price points they have achieved, which I certainlyw asnt expecting.
Compared to the last generation they have certainly delivered much faster processors. I wasnt expecting such huge gains
That ASRock fatal1ty board looks stunning doesnt it ? Very impressive overall platform from everyone involved.
Thumbs up from me. waiting in line like everyone else for my chip now 🙂
Those intel boards are really nice designs, they seem to getting better and better as the years and releases continue.
Well I had almost bought a 1100T from AMd, and now I really don’t know what to do 🙁 these are so damn good and the price points are excellent. the 1100T costs around the same as the 2600K and it wont really go past 4.3ghz.
There is a clear reason Intel are market leaders, and this is a good showcase of why.
Excellent, count me in when I get the funds up.
AMD need to answer this with something good in 2011, but I am not sure they can anymore. I remember the good old days of FX processors when they led the way. whatever happened 🙁
not that much faster than the 2010 core cpu’s people who say they are are complete idiots on avg perormance increase is about 10%
Francis, you’re completely wrong, it’s not that much faster at all, it’s anywhere between -5( meaning slower) to +10 as john already stated
