    IDF 2007 : Intel Penryn benchmarks - Conroe and Kentsfield ass-mastered

    Just as Conroe spanked the botty of AMD's chips, the 45nm Penryn dual and quad cores are now doing the same to Conroe as these benchmarks, fresh from IDF 2007, show.

    Find our how fast these new Intel Penryn chips are in this IDF 2007 Headline.

    Performance looks like a nice improvement, but the main concern for me is what did they change on the motherboard.

    The 975x doesn't officially support 1333FSB, so if it was just a small tweak to help ensure stability during the demonstration then thats not a problem, I'm running 1333FSB right now on my board as are many others and the 975x has never been great at that kind of bus speed.

    If its an electrical specification change though then this is more serious, this was changed with Conroe and is thought to be why everyones boards had to be revised to support it.
    If a year later they are breaking support again then thats just taking the piss in my opinion.

    I think we all need to hope that Barcelona is superb, just to maintain the pace of these performance improvements (and even price cuts!) that the two firms are forcing from each other.

    The change on the pre-production motherboard was electrical. The VRMs were replaced with beefier models.

    I doubt that many current 975X boards will be supported without a hardware revision, but the X38 Bearlake will be Intel's board of choice when Yorkfield is officially released, as you will know.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Shame as I'm using a 975x at the moment and was hoping I wouldn't have to replace it right away

    Guess we'll just have to wait and see what the final products require.

    I preferred it when the title said "Ass-Mastered". That was much funnier. In fact it was probably less contentious than "Flayed and sent packing" what with all the torture occuring in the world.

    That's only because the article title is different from the news post and forum post title.

    As the net connection was, shall we say 'dodgy', Tarinder wrote the article and I posted the story up and did the appropriate news and forum posts.

    So I threw in the ass-mastering comment as a reference to our famous botty-spanking Conroe benchmarking article... it would have been professionally impolite to have changed Tarinder's article title... He's very protective of his work and I would've risked a physical demonstration of my title...

    Performances look good but you have to remember its done in an Intel controlled environment so everything is suited for Intel, I want to see bench marks of the new AMD Quad core against Intel's penryn.

    we have to wait for AMD to get off its arse first. I'm definitely going to pick up a dual socket AMD S1207+ board with 2 QC Agena FX's though ... Let's just hope they don't release another R600 (even though I know AMD had no development on the R600, I am using it in a way as saying that it comes out late and can't beat the competition). One thing I am worried about is the fact that AMD is only on the 65nm process although they are good at perfecting processes...
