Results - SPECCPU 2000 v1.3

Normally, we register almost similar scores for the base results of SPEC CPU2000 with processors in the same class. This was even the case between the dual-core QX6800 and the quad-core QX6850. This is because this particular test is single-threaded in nature. With the Yorkfield based QX9650 however, even this single threaded test showed some improvements in performance over the QX6850 and although the integer results were close enough, the QX9650 pumped out some admirable floating point numbers.

Results from the multi-threaded rate tests were more or less expected as well after what we've seen. The new QX9650 was able to maintain a pretty consistent advantage over the QX6850 be it with a single or multi user. The four user results again showed a healthy lead in favor of the QX9650. Remember, both processors run at the same speed with the same FSB. The only difference here is the larger L2 cache and cache algorithm improvements on the Yorkfield.
