Second,your premise is false.CPU effect is not = 0.Therefore your conclusion is invalid.CPU effect is not as important in 16x10 as it is in 800x600(in which btw no1 games).In low res. you could probably see some differences that come from game engine optimizations(compilers,datasets used etc.).

In which games PhII doesn't fare any better than Phenom I?In the GPU limited ones where all CPUs have closely grouped scores?

As for the last question about slides and pricing,did it occur to you Q9650 is not priced the same as PhII 940?? AMD done-if the slide is from AMD in the first place- the price per. comparison by comparing systems that will cost similarly.PhII 940 will not cost the same as Q9650 and is logical not to compare it with that model. Have you heard of Radeon 4850/70 card? You know that 4870 model is at 80-85% the perf. of GT200(GTX280),somewhere even higher ,while costing A LOT less. That's called great value.
It looks like CPU does count for something then. YOU'VE BEEN EXPOSED. YOU WERE MAKING A CLOCK FOR CLOCK ARGUMENT, NOW WHEN IT SUITS YOU, YOU SWITCH TO A "BANG FOR BUCK, BUT HEY, LOOK OUT FOR THE Q9550. IT'S GOING TO OFFER BETTER VALUE THAN PII 940 THE WAY THINGS LOOKING, UNLESS AMD IS GOING TO PRICE THE PII 940 @ $250.

Sorry for caps, my keyboard was acting up.
