X16/x4 and athlon II bottlenecks

A week ago, I found a very very nice benchmark about sli/crossfire in combination with a lot of different cpu, at 5 resolutions each.
If I remember correctly there was no difference between a corei7,i5 and e8400 clocked or not in fps performance.... can't remember the athlons.

Here it is a benchmark with the athlon II x4, sry I can't remember the other benchmark, I'm trying to find it right now but I have my browser history deleted yesterday so.....

I don't believe in such "bottleneck" that is some kind of obsession this days. Many claim a E8400 is bottleneck for a 5870, and crossfire, 2way sli, I believe not!!
Dual cores are doing so fine, that there is no performance increase over the i5,i7 in games that doesn't require you to have more than 2 cores...oh well, I will get flamed for this most likely.

If you get flamed they are idiots, People are obsesed with CPU's it seems these days you are quite correct that most gaming wont see a differance worth the price increase.
As Timop said in GPU intensive games you really dont need a lot at all, there are more games these days that do show a marked differance with a higher CPU but in my book not enough of them to spend out on a higher speced CPU.

Thx for the replies and the links

Is there any articles that tests the difference between x16/x4, x8/x8 and x16/x16 crossfire?
