Gaming Performance

Gaming performance is, currently, highly based on single-threaded performance and thus, we see no benefit from dual core. The thing to keep in mind here is that AMD's dual core solutions are closer to their fastest single core offerings in clock speed, so they end up performing more like their Athlon 64 counterparts in games - which has always been quite strong.

Would have been nice to have a 2.8GHz Pentium D so you could get a sense of how the Intel chips scaled with an increase in the clock speed.

While I'm very impressed by this IC, I hate paper launches.

Amazing preformance, but half a G is really pushing it for a processor...

Is it just me, or did AMD win in EVERY benchmark program? Simply amazing.

Still, it surprises me to see intel push ahead on multitasking by a tad.
