4Ghz Core 2 Duo vs M.A.M.E. 0.120 (benchmark results)

Has anyone done any testing with the Windows-7 64-bit beta?  By every account I've been able to find, Windows-7 is less resource intensive and faster than vista, and it seems the fastest emulation so far is using 64-bit vista.  So I'm wondering if the smaller OS footprint might translate to larger framerates in emulation?  I'm running it now and it's definitely faster on my machine than vista, but my processor isn't fast enough to do anything high-end with emulation, so it's not really worth me testing.

--Just wondering.

Windows 7 is a noticable improvement, It still uses a ton of hard disk (64bit more so than the 32bit version) but Memory usage is down, The UI is much snapper and very clean, everything has been tweaked to the new standards even MS Paint and the Calculater, UI doesn't feel like a rushed patch job like Vista did. 

I Benchmarked MAMEUI 64 0.129 in both Vista and Windows 7 the other day, Windows 7 scores were a bit mixed, faster for some slower for others, I'd put it down to the fact it's still a beta and the very broken beta Nvidia graphics drivers. I'll post the result later when I get a chance.

Are there any plans for an Intel i-7 mame compile? Curious to see benchmarks with new chip.

Some of the results are a little random but that's to be expected with Windows 7 and the Nvidia graphics drivers still be a Beta.

Sure someone will do it in time, but currently the Price Premium on Core i7 CPUs & boards is to high for the additional preformance you see over a Core 2 Quad in MAME.

Someone did over at mameworld, and didn't get much improvement over core 2 (some faster, some slower):  link.  :-\

Assuming the system tested wasn't bottlenecked somewhere else, looks like i7 not worth it ATM for mame.
