The original Core 2's performed 90% faster per clock than the Prescott based Pentium 4. With Sandy Bridge even the LV chips should threaten the 5GHz Pentium 4. With multi-threading its going to reach that with the ULV chips. Of course this is all per core comparisons.![]()
I don't think a 10Ghz Pentium 4 processor could top a Sandy Bridge
Look at it this way:
Took a 5.2Ghz Pentium 4 to beat a K8 Athlon at 2.6Ghz
Which would be equal to about a ~2.3Ghz 65nm Core 2 Duo
Which would probably be equal to a 1.66Ghz 32nm Clarkdale
So if the Sandy Bridge processors will ship at 3Ghz and above--
Well I guess I was being far too generous with the P4 comparison
s2011 has an extra memory channel (quad channel), AFAIK no GPU. It also moves the PCI-E controller on die (since it was on the NB before, and AFAIK thats gone) and thats 40 lanes of PCI-E 3.0). Those account for the vast majority of new pins.
Doesn't 1155 have on die PCI-E 2.0, according to AT's article?
Nehalem using Bloomfield and Lynnfield core is ~10% faster in single thread than Penryn and with Clarkdale its less than 5%.
Core 2: 2x clock P4
Core 2: 45nm-2.2x clock P4
Core i7: 2.5x clock P4
2nd gen Core i7: 3-3.3x clock P4
By "2nd gen i7" are you referring to SB, or Bloomfield/Lynnfield?
