Seriously what a bunch of hypocrites.
This used to be the case , but i think now is the turning point.
Looking at the Guru3d multi GPU review with i7 it's clear that today's triple SLI and quadfire demand for so much info that the CPU does matter a lot.
I wonder in which direction this is headed....if GPU's keep getting more horsepower en games are gonna be more threaded the CPU's are going to be more and more important for games and multiple core scaling should also matter more.
Damn i do hope Deneb comes out soon , then there should be some more usefull info in this thread
