Intel Sandy Bridge Previewed
vr-zone.com - Anandtech has published an in-depth preview of Intel's upcoming Sandy Bridge CPUs. The Roadmap has been confirmed as the one previously leaked, and just as confusing, alongwith pricing indications. However, perhaps the most important question would be - How fast is Sandy Bridge? The CPU Anandtech tested was a 3.1 GHz quad-core sample, the same speed as the Core i5 2400. Unlike the eventual i5 2400, however, the sample could have HyperThreading enabled but Turbo disabled. Clock-for-clock, Sandy Bridge is approximately 10% faster than Lynnfield, and perhaps a few more percent with Turbo enabled. This well supports long term speculation that Sandy Bridge will only bring minor performance improvements, favouring efficiency.
