Except one game Intels Core i7 – 965 3.2 GHz was able to convince us in every single benchmark or game. Through the whole span the performance was higher. But as we expected Nehalem couldn’t show it’s real potential and therefore we all need to stay patient for some time until the majority of the game- and software insdustry puts software on the market that can take advantage of eight or more threads. With the synthetic benchmark 3DMarkVantage you can see what Nehalem is able to because in this case Futuremark spreads the load to every single of Nehalems eight threads. This explains the huge performance gap between Core i7 – 965 and Core 2 Q9650. Read all @ Ocaholic.ch
