epsilon - Now that's not a nice thing to say.
Epsilon that legion test is really incomplete - and they have an obvious pro-spintel bias.
The differences in results are insignificant in any case. Anything over 30 fps is not detectable - can't see it. Like in Supreme Command, the worst result is 41 fps - the best just doesn't matter - it cannot be seen. So an old Athlon 64 w a 4870x2, and yer done. Am I wrong? - it's your link!!!!
Overall the differences are measurable but not worth paying for - you'll never have more giggles fragging cos you bought a rolls royce to go to the beer store. It's more about the brand of beer and the temperature - and not about how it arrived in the fridge - it's simply there, and simply available.
Reviews like this are used as spintel bias all the time. If they really wanted to, they could load up those systems to find the point at which it really slows down to a real bottleneck - and that's strangerstrangers point.
But they fall short so they can falsely prove that spintel is better - note they did not discuss the sabotage code that favours spintel in the discussion - or the pro-spintel compilers that were used. DO you know why those new SSE instrux sets are created - not cos we need them - and spintel writes messy SSE's deliberately - so the results pass to programmers, and compilers - or recompilers. Welcome to the dark side. But really, they did not start out to rate cpu's AT ALL!!!! But they went there rather than really dig in to the vidcard itself = the topic.
But in bottleneck conditions, which cpu has the guts to continue? They won't go there. Or better still, which cpu was most consistent - indicating solid performance in any application. Or in real world conditions, which would play movies while reformatting a new partition and playing Crysis - speaking of which, where was that? And why not?
Tests can be spun to say anything. Legion says no cpu is good enough. Deneb is coming very soon, nehilim, not sure when. But maybe AMD can push it's own grafx card. We will see. Two of them? Haha, play 2 games at once! And power consumption is going to be a limiting factor - and watch how the spin changes re that talk; because people say Phenom was pow hungry, and Deneb is a dieshrink. Nihilim is now pow hungry - the talk of great multicore's is paper talk - because the pow footprint goes to 170 watts! But they will tell you it is ok now - different standards. That's why "spintel".
You don't want to hear that either.

I don't trust anything they say.
And people talk like they know when they don't. I certainly don't know everything; but I have learned a few things. And there's more.
