Real world? Cinebench isn't something people work with everyday right?Originally Posted by informal
That lostcircuits review is hardly representable for everyday use by ordinary people. But in the programs ordinary people use it was quite close. In videoencoding they won in one program each, in Photoshop they were close, and then there only two games. Personally I don't work with Cinebench or DIEP chess. Do you?

There you have much more user oriented benches. It's pretty tied in applications, i5 wins in games. I ignore the two synthetic categories here.
And check this one:

X6 is a notch better at videoencoding, it's tied in archiving, an i5 is a clear winner in games and is a tiny bit better at photoshop. I ignore 3D rendering, since I don't know anyone that has done that for years.
Read a bunch of reviews, and please post some here if you like. But as long as you don't play cinebench all day long or some synthetic bench, i5 750 an Phenom x6 is pretty equal, but i5 wins hands down in games, which might be most important category for most desktop users.
