Well, from the looks of it, Penryn will not be much faster, clock clock, core for core. Interesting though.
Well considering that SSE4 isn't being used except on one benchmark I would say its outstanding improvement . Right now its right about a 10% +- depending on the app. Gaming well see a 20% + improvement in most cases. SSE4 on apps that use it will see upto 40%+ improvements depending on the apps again.
Now Most remember that the test was using RBdimms at DDR2 667. The Shulltrail dual socket M/B will use DDR3 with the cpu fsb set to 400 at default which = DDR3 1600 .
So exspect to see at least another 5-10% increase in performance with the same apps tested here on a proper Desktop setup. Also NV sli will be a standard feature on skulltrail dual socket M/B . It will also have dual independent FSB like the one shown but with a differance a new improved snoopy filter.
So if you look at the big picture When Penryn actually is for sale to us . Skulltrail will be ready and waiting and you will probabally see 20%+ improvement in Apps. straight across the board at the same clock to clock compared to Conroe.
V8 used a server M/B SKULLTRAIL is for the desktop that V8 demo is nothing more than a preview of whats coming . Its going to be a lot better than the Demo. We already have DDR3 1600 and DDR3 2000 is on its way by the time penryn is released we will have lower latency DDR3 2000 and the improvement will see will amaze all.
