    Well, if you haven't red my post, I'll quote my self:

    Phenom II 940 isn't "smoother" than i7 920. If you define "smoothness" as min framerate, then P2 940 MIN framerate is 3% slower than I7 920 and 5% higher then Q9550. If you look at the average framerates, the P2 940 is 2% slower in average of all titles than the i7 920, and 1% slower than the Q9550.

    QUESTION: "Explain how Phenom II is smoother than Core i7?"


    I would comment about then you'll have to search somewhere else for your answer.
    I don't need to search for the answer, because Gary Key from Anand already answered:

    However, looking through the performance results and game play experiences, we have to mention just how fast Intel's Core i7 is right now. Its results were just remarkable in Far Cry 2 and it consistently scored at the top in CrossFire mode in the other games even though it has the lowest core clock speed. If platform pricing were better, then the Core i7 series would have a clear recommendation for an upgrade if you were considering a multi-GPU setup.
    How can anybody draw a conclusion that "PhenomII is smoother than Ci7" based on such comments of the author of the article and based on the numbers(just look at the crossfire results and imagine what will happen if the test were done with fastrer graphics cards)?

    I'd suggest that you move to Intel subsection
    What makes you think that you are appropriate to suggest me where I should read/post?
    Is it because you don't agree with me or something else?

    where you find a ton of people that will discuss this with you.)
    I already found tons of people ing on me, just because I don't share their opinon and/or bias.

    I red the title, your conclusion, the article and authors conclsion. Like previously I still think that the topic is missleading because according to the author P2 940isn't "smoother" than Ci7 920(and what about the faster Ci7 models?)

    I'll give you a break here because I'm not sure whether english is your second language.
    It's my fourth language, so maybe I haven't understood you correctly.

    I said smoother gameplay AND higher min fps. The "AND" delineates them as two seperate items, so in actuality I said the exact opposite of what you though I said.
    OK, All the comments in the article regarding i7 and P2 were suggesting that P2 isn't smoother nor is faster than i7, but it is the oposite...with the only exception in CoH where i7 had hikups unlike P2 which was running smooth. I was trying to figure out what leaded you to your conclusion and I thought that maybe it was the min framerate, where P2 shines.
