Intel Six-core "Core i7-1000" Gulftown CPU Tested

@ 2009/08/11
According to HKEPC’s test, Gulftiwn doesn’t bring much exciting performance improvements, especially in ordinary application tests such as PC Mark and Adobe Photoshop CS4. When compared to the quad-core Bloomfield, only the softwares optimized for multi-threading operation such as Cine Bench R10 and Sandra 2009 can give Gulftown an advantage over the Bloomfield.

During the 3D gaming benchmark, Gulftown doesn’t bring many more frames either. However, Gulftown got a 3DMark Vantage score (CPU) of 22331, compared to 15109 on Bloomfield. (src: Expreview)

Impressive... same 2.4GHz speed, same power consumption with half again the cores/threads.
