Should say BF3 multiplayer CPU Scaling Benchmarks in title

I saw it mentioned in the Picking a Sub $200 CPU:
Quote:
This benchmark is clearly bottlenecked by our graphics card. As we know from Battlefield 3 Performance: 30+ Graphics Cards, Benchmarked, campaign mode demonstrates this behavior throughout. Once you start jumping into 32- and 64-player maps, the emphasis shifts. Unfortunately, it's incredibly difficult to quantify performance in a consistent way using the game's compelling multi-player component.


lets figure this out. I mean to recommend a Gaming CPU you should test this.

We know that BF3 is multi-threaded, and the intensity of this increases dramatically in 32/64 Multi-player (MP).

How will a i3 2120/2100 hold up?

is a i5 2400 enough?

how do the Bulldozers fair?

your best gaming CPU for the money at the different price levels should include this consideration.

for example the i3 2120 is the current weapon of choice @ $130, but if it can't handle BF3 MP, but a quadcore FX chip can at that price point, the community needs to know this.

you could test other multi-threaded games could be tested at the same time also

its not difficult to come up with a test that gives you bigger error bars but a more accurate average
