This picture from  LegitReviews shows what we would like to have at home: a system with no less than eight cores and 16 Gb of memory.

Intel is at Computex, and they only waited until day 2 for a private tech session where a group of selected individuals could see a pair of 3.00GHz Penryn processors running Cinebench release 10. If a score of 22,936 doesn't ring any bell, let's just say that people in the know stated that AMD is around 16,000 with a pair of Barcelonas on this same benchmark. If we take into consideration that the 45nm Penryn V8 system is underclocked, AMD will have to resort to other programs to back up their statements about Barcelona being so good.

As for comparison with other Intel processors, it scaled nicely against the dual-core and quad-core 3.33GHz Penryn as well at the Core 2 Extreme QX6800. The latter lags behind, maybe because de new CPU from the blue boys has a cache size of 12MB per processor!
