Nothing strange amigo, that is a summary of how the processors fared in the suite of tests.Originally Posted by superrugal
emmmm, I was confused about these strange result. Very strange.
Thanks for posting this, this vindicates my choice of the i7 930 (which I bought at the Microcenter for $200 onlyOverclocking-wise, pretty well sumarized :
1.5 years later old, good i7-920 (which also can do 4.0 GHz) is still an upper-mainstram king.). Don't get me wrong, AMD has to compete with what it's got, but a six-legged pig is still a pig. Even though they have made some remarkable strides with the power consumption, and introduced turbo, the deneb cores just don't cut it. Ironically, folks were arguing about quad-core deneb vs bloomfield last year, now with the intro of hexa-core deneb, we can actually see the process/ipc advantage Intel has over AMD. For my wallet's sake, I hope bulldozer brings some more ooomph. For now, the i7 920/930 is king in price/performance if one takes into account all the real world stuff; encoding, compression, rendering, photoshop, excel, gaming, etc.
