I would assume though that they would outperform the conroes on apps which are coded to take advantage of quad core vrs dual.
I'll have to ask the folks in the FAH thread what the difference in times for running the SMP on a Dual vrs a Quad is.
Synthetic tests may not show us what real world results will be, but they do offer a view of what "could be" if programs were coded to make use of new tech.
