You can realise that we have sources for CPUs and VGA, like most people who want to get hardware in advance. You can also realise that it is useless to ask, nobody will ever divulge souch sourcesHow did you get the chip?
For heavy GPU benchmarks we used Unigine, which scales with CPU much less then Crysis and Metro (eg none, if there is actually nothing wrong with a CPU). HawX and RE5 are perfect to show the difference between two CPU's at low res, instead of just testing mainly the GPU / PCI-E controller. It is a theoretical game performance test, not a real life one, obviously...Also, why HAWX and not Crysis or Metro 2033?
In the end, it does not matter why we chose that instead of the other (we would have tested twice as many games and apps if we would have had the time, and more resolutions and so on, but that would be a review, not preview...), you will definately have tons of reviews with tons games tested at tons of resolutions tomorrow. We just previewed a small batch of games and tests in order to have a basic ideea of how this CPU performs. In order to understand the full picture, read the reviews tomorrow, a lot of guys are working very hard to show you as many situations you would like to see the new CPU in as possible...
