Without AA and details set to minimum again, it is kinda CPU Limited.
Not as much as the other test but still is.
There are details that I have to look at more, and maybe some stuff that aren't mentioned at all in the article.
But I have more serious things to do over this and to be honest, be it faster or not, I don't really care about it.

So...let's just say that AMD is faster in Lost Planet.
1 game out of... hundreds.
Shall we go out and celebrate about it like we've found the love of our lives ?

Just run the same test with varying CPU Frequencies by adjusting the CPU multiplier, and you'll see.

Once again, I haven't checked some details... for example the AMD configuration might have better RAM bandwidth and latency, which helps in performance in CPU Limited situations.

Off to work now.
