I was wondering, just from a strict number, how much improvement an i7 would be vs my current setup as far as bandwidth (FSB/quickpath) was concerned and I have no idea how to calculate the bandwidth of my current setup. Can someone help calculate my bandwidth, be it in GT/s or GB/s?
I have an E8500 (3.16 GHz, 1333 FSB/(333 MHz x 4)) with 4 gig (dual channel DDR2-667).
I want to compare this number to an i7 920 running at stock speeds.
Thanks!
