Yorkdale 2.33GHz Quad-Core Benched

Yesterday afternoon, we reported that AnandTech took a Wolfdale 2.33GHz Dual-Core for a spin. Well today, the boys at DailyTech have applied some initial benchmarks to a Yorkdale 2.33GHz Quad-Core. Next week, we will post initial reports of our Octal-Core 2.33GHz Liardale processor and one-up everyone. Like Anand’s article, this one tells us what we had already known… there are some improvements but nothing major. Once SSE4 optimized applications show up, the true differences might be seen.

Intel expects SSE4 optimizations to deliver performance improvements in video authoring, imaging, graphics, video search, off-chip accelerators, gaming and physics applications. Early benchmarks with an SSE4 optimized version of DivX 6.6 Alpha yielded a 116 percent performance improvement due to SSE4 optimizations.
