Benny, It saddens me to no end to see how you're justifying yourself. You're basing your entire argument off a totally flawed belief.
The benchmarks need to be run at 800x600 or similar low resolutions because thats when you test the power of the CPU. When you "turn up the heat" as you say, the video card becomes a bottleneck and restricts the FPS.
Look at the comparison at 1024x768. 162FPS for 2.4Ghz Conroe, and 125 FPS for 2.8Ghz FX-62.
Now look at the Splinter Cell 1600x1200 comparisons. 64 FPS for Conroe, and 63FPS for the FX-62.
That is called a GPU bottleneck, buddy. The videocard is holding them both back, AMD isn't "putting Intel is it's place." They're both being limited by the videocard that is being used, the comparison is not showing the actual power of the CPUs.
At lower resolutions, the videocard is powerful enough to not hold anything back, and let the CPUs shine. Thats why all the major reviewers run CPU benchmarks at such low resolutions, to test the power of the CPU, not to see how the game is played. The point isn't the 100+ FPS thats going on, the point is to show the almost budget Conroe being 1.4x as powerful at the FX-62.
The rest of the world seems to have realized that as soon as they saw the benchmark. Its people like you who're going to ruin this place to h3ll if you don't start learning your stuff.
