Anand: PII vs. Q9550 vs. i7 crossfire, Phenom II = smoother

Im staying out of this, its hot in here already.

why? this is the AMD section we cant be happy about good performance??.....Not my fault if AMD bashers come here to lurk in the shadows

I particularly like this little nugget

Now that we have discussed the numbers, what about game play experience? As we alluded to earlier, the Intel platforms had problems with minimum frame rates throughout testing, not just in the benchmarks, but also during game play in various levels and on-line. We have not nailed it down yet, but we have noticed this problem consistently. In the meantime, the Phenom II X4 940 had rock solid frame rates and offered the smoothest game play experience.

discuss even more.
