AMD Zambezi news, info, fans !

[gosh]

I suppose, but Ive also seen the opposite be true where at higher resolutions a particular platform fell behind, where at lower resolutions it was leaps and bounds faster ..
But yes, it would be awesome if what your sayin ends up being true and as we all know, games keep gettin more and more threaded...so maybe AMD's CMT approach will prevail afterall...like they thought it would! - would be freakin awesome hehe!

Bulldozer is going to perform very well on higher resolutions when loads are hard on the CPU and not bottlenecked by the GPU. i5-2500 is optimized for light loads. Loads that are predicatble, single threaded 32 bit applications (games that has one heavy render thread). 2500 will probably win them all over bulldozer.

Complicated games that scales well and/or is using a lot av memory is going to be executed a lot better om bulldozer.
L3 cache on 2500 is 12 way associative and 6MB, it has a much lower hitrate comparde to 8MB 64 way associative on Bulldozer. Battlefield 3 seems to use loads of memory and 2500 will have more problem to scale then.
2500 isn't tuned to perform well on these type of loads.
