Try again.
Miss Banana...hypothetically let's say that you had Phenom II with 8GB of RAM and 2x 4870x2, and you compared it to i7 with 8GB of RAM and 2x 4870x2 in a Far Cry 2 benchmark. Let's say the i7 whupped the Phenom's ass. I am imagining you quoting my benchmark and saying... "Well the i7 had the x58 chipset and the Phenom had the AMD 790 chipset so you can't compare! Try again!" Certain variables (like chipsets) are impossible to eliminate. Other variables (like 2 vs 4GB of RAM) sometimes just don't make a damn bit of difference in the end.

You know what, even though AMD and Intel are stuck on different chipsets I did the benchie anyway just for s and giggles. I did a Far Cry 2 benchmark of a Phenom II system with 8GB of ram and 2x 4870x2 and it totally smoked an equivalently configured i7 clock for clock...but I'm not going to post it because the stars aren't in the right alignment anymore so it's pretty much invalid.

Nah, just kidding.
