He mis-represented this benchmark ... he ran capped. Just look at his data ... does any of it make sense, if it such a great mulithreaded engine, does any thing make sense dual core to quad core. I mean, how does a 5000+ at 2.6 GHz beat an FX62 at 2.8 Ghz?Originally Posted by Corsa
This entire review was botched from top to bottom. I am was extremely disappointed with LC on this run.
He claims A) FEAR is multithreaded, it is not. B) he also claims Crysis is not multithreaded and it is, he simply lowered the CPU heavy settings to their minimum and as a result did not produce a high enough load to demonstrate all 4 cores working... C) he ran UT3 using UTBENCH3 but installed the demo, such that UTBENCH3 did not configure the botmatch they way he thought it was intended.
Better yet, he comments on the erratum, and uses an Asus board (M3A) to demonstrate the 'effects', yet the BIOS verison (603) had not incorporated the TLB patch, that was not cut in until the leaked 701 and is not present until 801. He benched the erratum patch without actually using the friggin' patch.
