Those are much different numbers than the review I just saw.


Phenom II X4 940 BE vs Core 2 Quad Q6600

Unreal Tournament 3 - 6.9% faster
Crysis - 1% faster
World in Conflict - 4.2% faster
Supreme Commander - 8.2% slower

You're reading that page wrong.

It's 6.9% slower for instance.

In a comparison such as this, the faster/slower connotations are in reference to the first object in a list.  Thus as listed the Phenom II X4 BE is 6.9% faster than the Core 2 Quad Q6600 in Unreal Tournament 3.

 

You're still misreading it.

The list says...

                                                   i7                   Q6600
Unreal Tournament 3    7.1%    Faster    6.9%    Slower

The i7 is 7.1% faster and the Q6600 is 6.9% slower.  Unless you'd like to start arguing that the Q6600 is faster than the i7, you are wrong.
