Benchmarks: Intel Core i7 (Nehalem)
Published: 04 Nov 2008
Games performance
Most 3D games are still not optimised for multi-core chips, which means that graphics cards remain the chief factor affecting game performance. However, the CPU test in the 3DMark Vantage benchmark does exploit several cores and reveals big differences between the processors.
Even so, the overall 3DMark score does not reveal any significant advantages for the new Nehalem processors. To a large extent, this result is confirmed by the tests with real games, including Farcry 2, Crysis, F.E.A.R and Call of Juarez.
3D Mark Vantage tests: longer bars are better.
3D gaming tests (frames per second): longer bars are better.
