Penryn!

[shivang222]

Does anyone know when this CPU (preferable the quad core version) will be coming out?
I was looking to buy a new computer, just deciding if the wait to Penryn is worth it....

Also, benchmarks wise (on 3DMark 06), which would score higher: QX6800 or a dual-core Penryn at same clock speed?

Here I was thinking looking at the title and thinking that you had some new exciting news.

Dont title your posts like that.

Anyway, there are a few benchmarks out there for the desktop Penryns, I'd suggest Googling them.

/agreed.

Also, the Penryn is a mobile CPU. Are you looking to build a quad-core laptop?

The right ones to wait for desktop would be Wolfdale (2 cores) and Yorkfield (4 cores)

Quad-core + integrated graphics = ub3r 640x480 resolution gaming!

heh, id say with quad core cpu's, software rendering just got interesting again (i remember UT2k4 supports software rendering, though i doubt it spawns a different thread for that)
