According
to some reviewers who had their hands on with the upcoming Bloomfield, the
new CPU runs great. In a recent document sent to partners, Intel pointed out
that when comparing Core i7 965 to a QX9770, we can get 52% more 3D gaming
performance, 38% more rendering performance and 41% more movie editing and
conversion performance. (Core i7 965 platform: X58, DDR3 3G, Discrete VGA card,
QX9770 platform unknown.) Yes the numbers are quite vague, but they are coming
directly from Intel, compared to a more expansive product, we can't expect more.
(QX9770 >$1450, Core i7 965=$999).
