if that's how the setup ran (4 quads new arc vs. 4 dual old arch), then it sounds good to me
1. You haven't understood what he said. 4 K10 CPUs are performing a little beat more than 4000 pixels/s, while 4 K8 CPUs are performing 2200 pixels/s. The 4 K10 CPUs finished one task for 56s, while the K8 finished the same task for 112s. That is 2X performance, not 4X.
2. If something is said by the_INQ it is BS or FUD by default.
