If true, this would cement bd as the worst cpu ever, i thought intels p4 would hold that title for a long time.
Wow, come on... Hope that's pure luck, or easily hotfixable.

this has got to be the worst possible way to show efficiency.
first you dont go with the biggest most power hungry motherboards if you want an efficient system
second you dont simply add up times together. some benchmarks took a few minutes, other took a portion of a second. horrible weighting factor and right there shows they are about as dumb as you can get.
third, you show efficiency per app since there are multiple ways to do stuff, and if you really care about power consumption, you pick the app and method that does it best for you.
and last, you might turn off turbo so that you loose a little bit of performance, but gain a huge power return of power savings.
we all knew that these things are power hungry when pushed hard, this is just trying to use shock value to get more hits rather than a proper test.
btw for a quick reference, i was able to increase efficiency on thuban by over 30% by simply dropping the voltage from 1.3 to ~1.1v at stock clocks, and thats with a chip already built around efficiency.

That contradicts with many other test results like:

Asus M4A87TD EVO + Phenom II X6 1055T @ 3900MHz + HD3850
APUs
This error was common with the original Phenom as well. If it wasn't a hot topic then, I don't see why it should be now other than to let people complain more about BD. Shogun players might have a legitimate beef.
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
