Hardware Canucks released PCMark Vantage numbers that show an almost 13% increase between the 965 Extreme Edition Core i7 and the previous Intel Extreme champ, the QX9770. Perhaps of more interest, even the lowly 920 Core i7 was slightly (just over one percent) faster than the than the QX9770. That’s pretty impressive if you figure the 920 is about one quarter the price of the older Extreme processor. Their numbers are in line with many other sites.
