For example, most of the games test don't utilize core.
exactly
You can(t) compare it like that because many of applications tested are not CPU-intensive nor (does) it utilize 2 cores
i know, but you posted the benchmark, im just using it. why cant we compare it like that? anandtech does.
Even if you run prey on Quad core overclocked to 5GHz you willbarely see any improvement
exactly. which is why i choose amd over intel. im a gamer mostly, and there is little or no difference between my 3600 and a quad core intel on the games i play, and i like amd better. better company overall, better marketing IMO(ie no retarded commercials), better enthusiast base, better support, better case badges lol, and they are not trying to take over the world. note the "games i play" part...there are exceptions to every rule.
If you test E6750 on CPU-intensive application then it will easily kick 6000+ ***
i will give you the point there, at least in supreme commander. but for the most part, 10-15% doesnt qualify as a beat down. a win, yes. but lets say your cpu clock is at 200mhz. you put a 15% overclock on it. 230mhz. big deal? NO. do you even notice the 15%? NO(except in some benchmarks...even if then, BARELY). hopefully that puts it into perspective.
another question....why didnt they measure the frames per second on supreme commander? or did i miss it (really i may have)?
isnt oblivion a cpu intensive game(it may not be, i dont have it)? the difference in the 6750 and the 6000 is a little under 9%. we're talking 9.1 frames per second. thats from 81.6 to 72.5. is that a big deal? lol i think not amigo. has anyone EVER seen an anandtech benchmark that doesnt totally dog-out AMD?
its the same old argument...
the thing is, they show cpu-intesive application benchmarks. intel wins, indeed in most cases. if they decided to show memory-intensive applications, or applications that were more dependent on the communication of memory/processor...we'd be seeing the roles reversed. bet. but that isnt important to many people, certainly not the general public. and apparently, it is not terribly important to amd, because they have their SOLID consumer base, that isnt (and mostly hasnt) going to wash out from under them. but watch what happens IF barcelona comes out and puts a whoopin on c2d. you'll see a lot of changing over. mark my words. amd has loyal customers, something that they have earned thru quality products and service/support. intell has billions of customers that watch t.v. (and like breakdancing) lol. the loyalty isnt really there. how many people do we hear say, "intel is faster, but i am sticking with amd because blah-blah-blah"? A LOT. how many people do we see that say, "if barcelona/kuma comes out and is king, i'm ditching this c2d"? quite a few. its just the difference in the customer base.
that is my rant for the day...i am the official AMD fanboy for a reason.
thank you for your time lmao.
