CES 2008 - Intel's Skulltrail Promises Godly Performance
Las Vegas (NV) - Intel’s upcoming Skulltrail platform promises almost divine performance thanks to its dual quad-core architecture. At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, Intel’s tech guru Francois Piednoel showed off a prototype Skulltrail-enabled Alienware system by blazing through several benchmarks. He also virtually flew an Airbus 380 (he’s French after all) in Flight Simulator, one of the very few games that can take advantage of eight cores.

The Alienware system used two 45 nanometer quad-core processors that were watercooled and overclocked to 4 GHz. Piednoel ran Cinebench in six seconds flat and Cinebench 10 in just 35 seconds. To top it off he managed to stall the Airbus A380 in Flight Simulator - to spare us from seeing the plane crash, he canceled out of the game just before slamming into the ground.
Piednoel proved that the platform and CPUs were very overclockable by also demonstrating an identically-built system that was running on standard air cooling. That machine also ran at 4 GHz.
