"Earlier this month Intel rolled out their new
Clarkdale processors that are built on a 32nm process and making
them rather unique is that integrated on the dual-core
Westmere-based part is an integrated graphics processor. The
Clarkdale CPUs launched under the Core i3 and Core i5 brands (along
with a Pentium version) and since their launch have received
favorable reviews, well, under Windows. We have now received our
Core i3 processor and have carried out various processor benchmarks
under Linux to see how well Clarkdale runs with the penguins.
"The 530 and 540 are the first two Clarkdale processors that
launched the Core i3 series after the Core i5 and Core i7 brands
were introduced last year. To distinguish the Clarkdale Core i5
processors from the Lynnfield Core i5 processors launched last
year, the new Clarkdale CPUs all have models within the Core i5 6xx
series (currently the 650, 660, 661, and 670 models). Arrandale is
the codename for Intel's mobile version of the Clarkdale processor
and they too are distributed amongst the different Core brands. The
Clarkdales in the Core i3 and Core i5 series have many similarities
like boasting a 733MHz GPU clock, LGA-1156 Socket, utilize DMI
(Direct Media Interface) rather than FSB, and support other common
Intel CPU features like Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology, and
Intel VT-d for virtualization. Clarkdale CPUs also support the SSE
4.1 and SSE 4.2 extension sets. Differing the Clarkdales though is
that the Core i3 models lack support for Intel Turbo Boost."
