Here is the link to the first page http://diy.pconline.com.cn/cpu/reviews/0809/1426985.html. This is in Chinese I think, so it is a little confusing, but you can figure out the benchmarks and the gaming results.

I'm only interested in the gaming results personally. I'm not impressed. The C2Q can even beat it, not every time, but it shows you Nehalem is not a gaming CPU. Look at 3DMark, that barely got a jump from this CPU at all. You know how much CPU dependent it is. There is gains on the software side and such, but I don't care for that. I'm just happy I didn't wait for a new computer build based on this CPU, my E8400 will last me a good amount of time :). AMD may not be that far behind with Deneb with gaming concerned, plus one for them.
 
I've browsed this forum for months before I registered a few days ago. and I am still amazed at how many people care about how this chip affects gaming when even 2 year old cpu technology is not even a bottleneck. the Core i7 will make a bigger difference with database apps than gaming.

This is the [H] most people here care a great deal about gaming.
 
WELL THE GOOD NEWS IS IT RUNS AT 4GHZ+ SO THOSE SPEEDS ARENT AS HIGH AS
 
I'll take an overall performance increase for a comparable gaming experience (if you tell me that 3-4 FPS is the difference in a good to great experience, I'd have to question it honestly).

At those frame rates, it won't be an issue is my guess, and scaling potential should be much higher.
