just one question as a regular reader:

WHAT IS THE POINT IN SHOWING NON-REAL WORLD PERFORMANCE?

i don't by some magic numbers from some stupid synthetic tests, i want real world numbers in real world tests (application tests in wide spread settings) - almost all hardware sites are completely useless because they don't put their focus on real world performance and user experience and yours is one of them - you show a completely wrong picture of what users can expect from the reviewed hardware by doing such completely useless junk tests
