lulz just about every Nehalem review where the comparison was made. You asking for them like they didn't exist is hilarious and pathetic at the same time

Overall we have : 13% more time wrts to task 1, but 30% more work done overall.
Can i ask you what other imaginary task are you referring to? And what imaginary 30% more work done? And if it made so much more work how come it ends up encoding in more time in a multithreaded app?

So what has HT done for the game beside dropping the playable rating? 30% more work in a imaginary task that still led to less fps? HT is adorable.
