It's not going to happen, and it's called GPU Limited scenario ( as real-life gaming is ).
You may test 100 titles...maybe there will be one title where AMD will be 1fps faster...but on most of them it will be lagging behind by a tad ( max 2fps lower )
Hi Bench! Welcome to this topic!
Since you are having hard time reading anything except the thread title, here's some help:

1. this thread is about an article made by jumpingjack
2. in the article phenom outperforms intel quad clock for clock in gpu intensive levels of lost planet at high resolutions
3. this thread is about how this is possible

If you're just going to be in denial about the benchmarks shown in this article, you might as well open your own thread about this, as this thread is not about whether or not the benchmarks are right. It's about why the benchmarks show what they show.

Have a nice day!
