» Intel Core2 Benchmarks

You know those Intel Core benchmarks floating around the internet, posted by sites that benchmarked systems prepared by Intel, supervised by Intel? Yeah, we didn't do that. Instead, we bring you independent results from Computex.

Well it is refreshing to see possibly some actual competition in the CPU market again. Hopefully those prices will fall.

I dont take sides - couldn't care less whether AMD or Intel are on top as long as they are competitive. Better for us, the consumer.

It's interesting that the Core2 was overclocked to 2.9 ghz for the Q4 tests. It does seem to be slightly faster when taking that into account...slightly.

Where are the pricing figures comming from?

We didn't do overclock benchmarks. Just overlocked it to see how high it would go. Those Q4 results are at 2.4GHz.

Slightly? It's a full 10% faster at 800x600. That's pretty good for a change only in the CPU subsystem. Sure the results are closer at the higher resolutions, but that's because the bottleneck in those tests gets shifted to the GPU subsystem.

Good job by FS to run these tests.
