"The performance however is still down to physical core count, not just "brand". a 4 core AMD will still be outperformed by a 4 core intel."
Thats just it, today people compare a 4core intel against a 8core AMD cpu.
Because you dont need the extra 4 cores from intel side, you have Hyper threading, and stronger single core performance.
Thats how things work today.
and most of the time: 4core intel > 8 core amd cpu.
However thats not how things will work when DX12 comes out.
You will probably see alot of 4 core Intel cpus get beat by the 8core amd versions, you kinda expected to be weaker than the 4core intel ones.
