So for gamers all this non sense really don't matter because they are all damn near even when it comes to REAL WORLD gaming. So as a gamer I will buy the cheapest that allows me to game efficiently. With that said, hell I may instead get a 9850 or 9950 once Deneb come out. They should be dirt cheap then. The 9850's are already selling for 147USD and should drop to less than 125USD once Deneb hits shelves...
games matter the most to me since i don't render, need file compression, try to calculate world records of prime numbers, want to see how fast i can calculate fpu mandel, graphics design, don't do video conversion on a large scale. ill use the benchies when im tweaking to see the difference but how the results compare to other cpus is meaningless to me.
