Sunday, January 11, 2009Think Your PC has a Fast CPU?
I'm in the process of putting together the spec. for a new PC using one of the new Intel i7 chips, the Quad core 920 2.66MHz. I've been holding off until they (and the motherboards) fall out of the premium price bracket, which due to the less than stellar Aussie Dollar, is taking a bit longer than expected. I was interested how the top end CPUs compared and came across this very interesting benchmark graph. (OK, I know benchmarks should be taken cum grano salis)
Check out that quad Opteron 8354. Sweet! |
