Some guy @the zone has found a bench somewhere that flies in the face of every other bench on the inter web and shows k10 besting core in a gaming bench. http://www.amdzone.com/amdzone/ind [...] 7&catid=52

Do any of you go over there? Seems that a few people are so devoted to the green side that even the mod attacks people if they happen to say anything that is remotely true about the current situation. There is a few that seem to seem sensible but they just get called troll etc.

Any way I just thought I would keep yous in the loop about cpu performance mattering in gaming again lol

That's weird... because Anandtech's benchmarks completely disagree with theirs.

LostCircuit's UT3:

Anand's UT3:

Now let's examine F.E.A.R. Guru3D's benchmarks:

I don't know about you, but it looks like F.E.A.R is more clockspeed limited than core count limited.

Lost Circuit's F.E.A.R:

EDIT: What's even funnier, is how LC claim F.E.A.R to be heavily multithreaded.

But Extremetech differs on that opinion.

It looks like a lot of differences between LC's and other reputable sites'. To be honest, I would take Anand, ExtremeTech's words over LC's words any time of the day.

I've been to AMDzone just recently, where the Mods basically attacked someone just because he said Intel's Quad core is faster, and had been out longer. The mod said, "yes, but everyone knows Intel's is just a "fake" quad core, where AMD's the "real" quad core".

Nice try, AMDzone fanboys.
