Core 2 Extreme benchmarks hit the scene. Should AMD worry?

If you’re into the electrical engineering side of the equation, the slides should make your mouth mater with anticipation. For the rest of us, we rely on the numbers, and there’s certainly no shortage of them. The Core 2 Extreme X6800 steals the show from AMD’s AM2 FX-62 in nearly every test, all the while drawing considerably less power. While the numbers for these specific processors likely won’t mean much to the average consumer or even enthusiast, the low end and mid range products are spun off the flagship chips, so it’s a useful comparison of products that will me made on the same architechture and fabrication process. If you don’t understand Chinese, don’t worry. Just skip a few pages over to the charts which use standard English labelled benchmarks.
