The 64bit part interested me.I knew you would point out the Xbit test.Then why did I bother to ask ?

Because the conclusion is flawed IMO.

When you average results , you need to eliminate anomalies , like the one provided by ScienceMark , because they skew your results.

ScienceMark is a test where K8 does abnormaly well ; in the same way SuperPI is a test where C2D does abnormaly well.Including them has a profound effect on the average.

Once you eliminate ScienceMark , the results are damn close.The graphic at the end shows this best.
