Nordic Hardware reports that Intel’s 32nm Clarkdale desktop CPU running at 2.4GHz is 10% faster than Core 2. This dual-core CPU comes with 4MB of L3 cache coupled with 256KB of L2 cache per core.

Although these CPUs are still just samples for partners and OEMs, everyone likes a good information leak and the Asian overclocker JCornell has managed to spill the beans.

Core Temp and CPU-Z are naturally not recognizing this CPU but GPU-Z reports an integrated graphics circuit with 32MB of RAM. In the end, it took Clarkdale 18.125 seconds to complete a SuperPi 1M test, which is about 10% better than Core 2 processors at same clocks.
