And anyone thats running lower than 1080p isnt going to have specs like those in the test rig.

In this one case for Crysis 3, I dont think that any of the results are valid because it seems like another case of early release performance bugs and poor optimization, and the amount of difference between the tests is just too random to pinpoint a single reason.



Exactly, there doesnt seem to be as much optimization for Hyper Threading. The results are not conclusive of which CPU is better, only which CPU certain parts of the game are currently better optimized for.
Testing at 1024x768 is not supposed to show real world performance, it shows variable limited performance. It's showing the effect of the CPU alone (as best they can) on frame rates. Looking at the results it just seems like crysis 3 loves it some threads.
