Phenom and 3DMark

[ElMoIsEviL]

nice one guys, come on Hipro play nice

good to see Macci benching ti is fun to watch

good to see ipc is close

ipc isn't close.

It's what 3DMark 05 does. It's the way it's coded. It really doesn't showcase the IPC of these processors. If you want that you'll have to run 3D Games or compare 3DMark 06 CPU scores.

Heck, using Cinebench or SuperPi would be better for IPC comparing. Mike over at Xtreme CPU has been doing so and the results are less then favorable for the Phenom CPU. It's a horrible processor right now. In time it might mature into something competitive, but as it stands it's junk.
