It’s all well and good telling you about the specifics of the improvements like Radix-16 this or Super Shuffle that, which come with the process revision of 45nm, but how does that translate into real numbers? Today bit-tech had some time to sit down with Intel and discuss the specifics of Penryn 45nm processors and how it’ll actually benefit the end user. Whilst we weren’t allowed to use the systems ourselves, the testing done was mostly real world applications rather than canned benchmarks and Intel was upfront with each of the system specifications."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/DFC-penrynlabel-042407.jpg" /> <br /><br />Gad that's one smokin' processor. 8O Bit-tech takes a look at and manages to (sort of) benchmark Intel's new 45nm Penryn processor. Looks like a fantastic processor, but I think the lack of a drool spill kit is a major oversight. :wink: Interested in the latest and greatest? This is it. Take a look!
