Yesterday we served you some information on the upcoming Shanghai and Deneb processors from AMD. AMD is very confident that these will compete well with Intel’s current and coming processors, but what we’re wondering is how much they really know about Nehalem. We would be very surprised if they don’t measure up to Core, but Nehalem may be another story. Intel is namely claiming that Nehalem will offer up to around 50% more gaming performance, and 40% better video performance; rendering, editing and conversion, when comparing Core i7-965 to Core 2 Extreme QX9770. This was from a document sent out by Intel, but it still adds to the tension we’re feeling right now.
