Penryn's quick test this time with four cores

After the preliminary Wolfdale test, the first results of the quad-core brother arrived.

This test also included an engineering specimen that was entered for the competition with a 1333 MHz system bus and a 2,33 GHz clock. As an opponent, a QX6700 processor emerged, whose clock signal was also shot at 2,33 GHz at the time of the measurement. We’re wondering what the newcomer with the fattened second-level cache at 45nm can offer against the old motorized Extreme quad-core.

The test configuration was as follows:

  • Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 @ 2,33 GHz (1333 MHz system bus)
  • Intel Yorkfield 2,33 GHz (1333 MHz system bus)
  • Intel P35 Express motherboard
  • 2 × 1 GB DDR3-1333 memory
  • AMD ATI Radeon HD2600 XT
