Specviewperf performance was much like that seen in games. The Dual-Core performed about the same as a similar speed single core processor. The 500MHz speed increase provided performance increases in most benchmarks in the SPECviewperf 8.01 test suite. The exceptions are proe-03, sw-01, and ugs-04 which all seemed more tied in performance to the graphics card used for the benchmarking.
This is not an Apples to Apples compairison, This article should have compaired a 90nm Venice 2.2GHz 512k to a Manchester Dual Core 512k 2.2Ghz. Why was the 4000+ used as the compairison in an overclockability aricle? It does not even come from the same die.
