LGA 1156 Core i7s & Core i5s Reviews

[Hornet331]

ok my bad i am at work and trying to state myself with short meaningless sentences

actually you got what i mean but not exactly. yes i am saying you should compare that tests but take single threaded ones. also gaming tests are mostly gpu dependent but if you use same gpu with same drivers you can count it as a constant so gpu dependency is not important.

so when we look at the tests lests say super pi (just for example super pi name is not important) a single threaded non gaming tests i920 with 2.66 ghz speed can easily own phenom 2 955 3.2 ghz with %10 (again just for example not the actual values) but when it comes to games 920 can easly owned by 955 with lests say %5. so we know 920 cpu is more powerful then 955 and as the driver and the gpu is same we take it as constant so which component can make this diff. only chipset is left.

nice theory but if you remove the GPU complelty form the equation, Ci7 stomps every other cpu, can bee seen by a) reducing resolution or b) going SLI/CF.

If the chipset would be bad you wouldn't have that sort of scaling.

Also there games that behave quite funny, espcial when reviewers measure that a PII 3ghz is faster then a PII 3.4ghz

There are some games where i7 consistantly lags behind, but that has nothng to do with the Chipset but more with Hyperthreading:

There are games out there that just simply hate HT. If your a seriouse gamer -> HT off is the better choice.

Here?

you know.. i5 is also based on nehalem...
