I've a question, am I the only one that think it's embarrassing/funny/weird that they compare there new top model against a 1,5 year old processor that probably performs worse then the 2500k/2600k in the comparing games. Imo that make this (http://tof.canardpc.com/view/a53a68e...1068e8af28.jpg) slide worthless because if they would have compared it with the better performing 2500/2600 the slide would have looked very very different...

Don't you think it's embarrassing/funny/weird that their $1K top model loses more than it wins in gaming to their $220 model?

It's marketing. People are extremely stupid and actually believe that price indicates performance. They will see slides like this and think "WOW thats AMAZING". Enthusiasts know the score so why bother with it unless you are just looking to nit-pick irrelevent stuff? Believe it or not, it's a marketing teams job to make their chip look AS BEST AS POSSIBLE. That's what they are doing. Remember the 36% faster in gaming physics benchmark intel did for the new SB-E's? Or did you just deliberately forget that?
