weren't we talking about an e2140? the one that costs only a littel more than 3600? dont see that one up there...
my 3600 runs super pi 3 seconds faster than that benchmark shown (at a lower clock, no less).
We are talkinga bout the e2140 but it clocks about the same as the e2160 and uses the same core so it can be used as a reference.
...and so your 3600 runs superpi at 29 seconds when overclocked? Thats great because that's only 1.5 seconds faster than the e2160 @ only 1.8ghz.
and dude, are you really putting an article in your argument that says, "it (x2 6000) loses noticeably to an x6800"...? lol they forgot to mention it costs 1/4 as much.
The point was to compare a C2D clocked to 2.9ghz to a AMD @ 3.0ghz....not the actual retail chips.
...also I am giving benchmarks because that's how you actually prove something....if you want my view from an empirical stance then it's the same...I went from a 3.03ghz 4400 x2 and right now I'm only running my e6300 @ 2.8ghz and it's LOADS faster than the 4400 was in EVERYTHING I do.
The most notable difference for me was Quake 4 as I play it almost every night.
