You may have to wait one more month in order to be able to buy a Core i7 processor but when it comes to knowing the performance of Intel's upcoming 45nm parts, the wait if over. From PCOnline we now have a rather in-detail article focused on the performance of Intel's Core i7 940. Coming at 2.93 GHz, the i7 940 will be the highest clocked non-Extreme Nehalem CPU available upon launch day and it will feature things like 8MB of shared L3 cache and a triple-channel DDR3 memory controller.
Going against a Core 2 Extreme QX9770 both at both 3.2 GHz and 2.93 GHz, the Core i7 940 proves faster than its predecessor in Super PI, CINEBENCH R10, WinRAR, 3DMark Vantage and World in Conflict but not in Call of Duty 4, Half-Life 2: Episode Two of Company of Heroes.
To see the Core i7 940's
Summary: In multi-threaded test, simultaneous multi-threaded SMT Open Core i7's performance has improved significantly in software testing, only TMPGEnc and SMT have compatibility problems, decreased performance, I believe that through subsequent version will resolve this
