monsters yeah so wana get that i7 860,, but got a questions
8 tasks only give 30% boost in WCG instead of theoretical 100% right?

I ran a Q9650 @ 4ghz and now have a i7 920 @ 4ghz. Not sure if clock for clock they are the same, but the 9650 averaged about 20k wcg points, and the 920 with ht on averages about 32k wcg points. Plus the power usage is slightly lower with the i7.

From what I've read here and at XS, i7s tend to be ~50% better than Yorkfields at the same speed, and tend to overclock better as well. I can't conform this because all I have is Yorkfield, but the Yorkfield @ 2.66 is ~100 PPD better than the Kentsfield Q6600 @ 3ghz I had. So I would call that a success. And it runs cooler :toast:

Just some info for you guys

My k7 at stock 2.8 Ghz does about 500-700 more points than my QX 9650 @ 3.0 Ghz. Although clocked lower, the HT seems to help tremendously.
