@ 2006/02/27Our main objective in this article is to find how much better the new
9xx dual core processor series based on the 65nm Presler core is in
comparison to the older 90nm based 8xx series. For this purpose we
compare the entry level Pentium D 920 with a Pentium D 820 and the 955
Extreme Edition with the 840 Extreme Edition. Naturally we also wanted
to see how Presler fairs against the competition. For this we included
AMD’s recently released dual core flagship product, the FX-60 and the
entry level X2 3800+. Given the early reports about good overclocking
headroom with “Presler” we have ventured into this area in greater
detail than usual.
