Intel Clovertown: Quad Core for the Masses

We see that the Clovertown products are similar, except for the 24% difference in performance. The 2.33 GHz Clovertown is able to outperform Woodcrest by as much as 42%, again nice scaling considering the clock difference. It is interesting to note that the Opteron took a dive at load point 3; we are not sure why this is, but all three executions were within 1.7% of each other.
