Yeah, if you want the ins and outs of this tech stuff, look for one of the PC centric sites like Guru3D, TechpowerUp (my personal favorite), or Anandtech

Or, even VGC (Pemalite and CGI-Quality)

Not going with that Pemalite, I hear he looks like the guy from Gamers Nexus and not only that he also waffles on like him, all while raking in VG dollars in cash for comment. In CGI's case why bother I know his  summantion will be "compared to my rig they suck bigtime".

May you never find socks that match.

Numbers are numbers.

If the Intel chip is faster it's also a honest review.

But yeah, a good (different from only honest) review would present all sides of it, so people that want the most independant of price can choose the best, and people wanting to make the most from their buck can also choose the best.

Leading the review purely for one side is also ok if it is made clear from the start, if the only purpose if to know which one is faster price doesn't matter.

But using better parts for one of the test subjects is definilely not okay, if they both can run with the very same parts, that is.

Yeah. Everything needs to be kept equal as much as possible. Coolers can affect turbo speeds and duration, so it's an important facet.

In saying that, AMD's wraith coolers aren't complete garbage either, certainly not like the old Phenom coolers of old. JFC. They were jet engines and did a garbage job.
