Gaming Tests

Frankly speaking, we didn’t even hope that the new Pentium Extreme Edition 965 processor would win here. K8 architecture proves much more efficient in tasks of this kind than Intel’s NetBurst. As a result, even the higher clock speed of the new Presler based CPU failed to change the situation, that has been repeating from one test session to another. Note that despite this fact, Intel positions its Pentium Extreme Edition as a solution for extreme gaming fans. However, as we have just seen from the benchmark results, even the Pentium Extreme Edition 965 doesn’t cope with the task well enough.
