Good, So, we showed that we can easily (when it is fugger and Mike) get the top score on a 5 years old Benchmark: 3dMark 05 ...
On the benchmark that matters, the last generation, there is only Core i7 in the 1st page, then, it is Core 2 for a long long list ...

This little competition on 3DMark05 got a lot of media coverage, but the truth is that we played a little, that was nice, but Phenom is light years away on all the last generation benchmarks ... It is able to compete with Liquide Helium, when the benchmark is single threaded, and only using one Core Overclocked ... on 05 ...
never the less, that was fun to see what is required to get close
But as long as Phenom does not show around 40000 on Vantage, I don 't think any other marketing tricks will wake me up, and defocus me from my toys ...

Take it easy! Competition is fun!
