Chinese website reveals Lynnfield benchmarks
A CHINESE WEBSITE got its paws on two upcoming Intel LGA-1156 parts - the Core i5 750 and Core i7 870.
PConline says that the Core i5 750 part features clock speeds in the range of 2.66GHz and 3.2GHz using Turbo Boost and no Hyper-Threading.
The higher-end Core i7 870 will run at 2.93GHz with a top speed of 3.46GHz for individual cores and supports Hyper-Threading technology for up to eight threads.
Looking at the test results, it seems that despite being limited to dual-channel memory and the old DMI interconnect instead of QPI, the Core i7 870 outperforms the existing Core i7 920.
The Turbo Boost feature increases the frequency of the Core i7 870 to 3.2GHz. The Core i5 750 appears to be power-efficient but still manages to sit between the Core i7 920 and Core 2 Quad Q9550 in terms of performance.
If the results are true, both chips will outclass Phenom II X4 955 and have AMD crying in its beer.
A word of caution on the tests. Chipzilla has not even announced the existence of these chips yet and they might be prototypes which will never see the light of day. µ

Where and when you found a company crying?
lol at myself because I'm so clever with how I jhust described your name.
You'll find a company crying right next to a grammar book. Apparently you haven't seen either.
Burned! Is there no end to my witty geneous?

If its a prototype and its faster, some form of it will come to market, But only if Amd has something thats getting close. So in some respects AMD is holding technology back. Look how fast we moved forward when they moved ahead of Intel.
Comparing an i7-870 to an i7-920 is like comparing apples and oranges. The former is a $530 (or so) part, the latter is a $280 (or so) part.
'nuff said.
Duh? The 870 runs at 2.93GHz while the 920 runs at 2.66GHz. No wonder it beat it. How does it do against the 940 though? Same clock speed.
