25-48% faster in multi-threaded apps, in line with the expected results of the added 50% processing power.
HKEPC has published benchmarks of the upcoming revised architecture known as "Westmere", which is a 32nm processor with some architectural improvements.

Game performance doesn't increase much but since games are traditionally cache size bound, the increase in L3 cache size from 8 to 12MB does have some effect on performance. CPU scores are very high, as expected.

Scientific benchmarks don't yield massive improvements due to the same bandwidth limitations.

Now it's up to Intel to deliver the final specs and pricing on the chip but it should be available only in one model, costing $999 and sold as an Xtreme Edition model.
