Thread: Nehalem conclusion

We had high hopes from Nehalem. The new microarchitecture incorporates significant new changes, therefore we expected it to perform well. But what we did not expect was for it to give a performance that's nearly double that given by its closest predecessor. We were also not anticipating it to hammer the Core 2 Quad while also consuming less power. Overall. it can be safely said that the new processor is extremely powerful. consumes less power and has given desktop performance a whole new definition.
