Intel Core i7 Application Results - We take the Intel Core i7 965EE, 940, and 920 processors, and run them through six content creation applications stretching from Premiere Pro CS4 to encoding MP3s. Clock-for-clock comparisons are supplied as well as a look at what two extra cores get you compared to the "old" dually E8500.
The Intel Core i7 looks to be doing very well in the encoding and content creation arena. Simply put, these are areas that can benefit greatly from 10% to 20% faster encode times. While this may not be realized on the normal consumers desktop, there is no doubt in my mind that some of our file sharing enthusiasts as well as content creation professionals will see huge benefits in gaining an edge on current efficiency problems.
