Intels' new cpu

While the test rig used by Anand didn’t exactly turn out to be the most reliable (memory latency was high and they ran into some problems with the PCI Express slot), it was good enough to run some early benchmarks on a 2.66GHz chip. All problems aside, Nehalem was able to post 20 to 50% performance gains over Penryn while driving up power consumption by a mere 10% which was enough to leave AnandTech very excited. As they put it, AMD better have something up their sleeves to even come close to achieving competition here
