AMD 45nm Deneb ES SuperPI

[Apokalipse]

I'm not surprised. SuperPi is cache-intensive, and I believe that the performance increase in SuperPi is mainly due to the increased cache in 45nm Phenom. However, most of the other applications are not as cache-intensive as SuperPi, so I highly doubt that the other applications would show the same increase as SuperPi.

Depends how the CPU uses the cache, and what the program is. Maybe the 6MB cache will do a lot for it in video encoding, which is one area where AMD isn't as strong in (perhaps at least partially due to small amounts of cache)
But anyway, Deneb hasn't got just a cache increase and die shrink. There's a discussion at XS about it
