The snow benchmarks at resolutions around 1600*1200 are mostly gpu limited right?
So this means it shouldn't matter much, going from a phenom 2.5 Ghz, to a dual core K8 at say 3.2 Ghz.
If the AMD system then still benches higher than the intel quad core system, it has to be a chipset > GPU connection thing, giving the AMD setup the advantage.

If this test scores lower than the intel system, it has to be a phenom architecture thing.
That is reasonable....
