They also overclock it to 4.26 ghz and put that in the test.

Take existing core, shrink it to 65nm, add cache, profit!

those overclocking results make me want to get one.
4+ Ghz of dual core with out exotic cooling.
with my XP-90c I should be able to hit 4.3Ghz easily

nobody should buy EEs just OC the regular preslers

Not sure why you'd say it's dissapointing, it's still a P4 and it went head to head with AMDs lineup. Not bad for a P4 if you ask me. Is it worth a grand? Hardly, but then again have any of the EE procs been worth that much? Though I don't know that I believe them about the power usage. That seems a bit high. I can confirm that the Presler EE runs VERY cool, HSF was hardly spinning and the heat sink was cool to the touch... so I'm a bit skepticle about that review.
Very nice results... why would anyone say it is dissapointing? Even the stock clocked 955 wiped the floor with the 4800 in most tests.
It is really weird that HT actually lowers performance in some cases... I wish they had OCed the 950 to the same freq to see what the difference was between HT and non-HT. I am still in lust over the possibility of seeing 4 cores in the task manager.
This really shows what Netburst is capable of, and it may just be me, but I don't think that we are going to see Conroe/Merom/Yonah beating these scores until at least 6-mos to a year after launch. Hopefully someone over at Intel wakes up over this and realizes that Netburst wasn't a failed experiment and still has some serious worth... I'd much rather run something like this or a Dempsey, a brute force hot-rod OC-king hot and hungry but laying down the performance smackdown processor than a glorified laptop chip.

It isn't HT that hurts performance , it is the poorly designed apps.
QFT. It'll be years before we see apps properly tuned for hyperthreading or multithreading of any kind. NulloModo, nice to see we agree on something as well. NetBurst wasn't a catastrophic failure. It just wasn't quite as fast as AMD's solution, per MHz - especially for gaming tasks. That said, I'm still looking forward to what the hell they are doing with Conroe. Hopefully they have their head completely on straight for that one.

Eh, we both seem to agree on plenty of things in the gaming forum, and have NIN Revs pre-ordered in our heads already
(though I admit I am a far bigger Sony whore than you...)... But yeah, Netburst, showed promise from the beginning, and if Intel had been able to ramp up the Mhz like the planned, it would still be on top, as it shows with the Dempsey/Presler.... They just hit a wall they didn't expect and... well yeah, things like that happen in this industry. Still, those video encoding benchmarks are hot as hell, and that is from a single Presler... I was planning on jumping on a Dual-Dual Dempsey system when they are released, but if a single Presler does that well.... I might be able to save myself a gizzle in the wallet.
