Kentsfield Preview *update*

Anandtech, Techreport og Hardwaresecrets fået nogle benchmarks med Intels quadcore Kentsfield. Der bliver kigget på programmer som nyder godt af multicore. Benchmarkene er foretaget på IDF 2006 hvor kun inviterede kunne deltage. Se testen her.



INTEL'S FIRST quad-core processor, code-named "Kentsfield," is now set to arrive in November, a few months earlier than originally anticipated. We already discussed the basic technology behind Kentsfield in our first dispatch from this year's Fall Intel Developer Forum, so I won't delve into it again here. The underlying premise is fairly simple, though: take a pair of Core 2 Duo chips, cram them together into a single package, and you have a "quad-core" processor that fits into one socket. This beast can then be dropped into a standard Core 2 Duo motherboard for mega-multiprocessing bliss under a single heat sink.
