Intel's 45nm suckers
3DMark 06 benchmark shows Intel's 45nm generation is on average 2% faster at the same clock, compared to its 65nm generation. The only significant improvement is lower power consumption.
Some 15% max. That will enable Intel to push its clock some 7-10% up from the current generation.
That means in the whole next year Intel will move its performance max 7-10%. Or its clock from current 3 GHz to 3,3Ghz. AT the same time, AMD will move up from current 2,4 Ghz for the same value 10% plus IPC improvements enabled by B3 revision. And with additional IPC in 45nm Shanghai. Year 2008 is obviously AMD's. Regardless of all stories.
