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.

It's a very powerful combination (Phenom II X4 920 + 4870X2).

Don't be tricked by the store to put more money on the processor and less money on the GPU.

The GPU should always cost A LOT more than the processor in a good gaming system or else something is wrong.

GPU is graphics processing unit. They are incorrectly using it to mean graphics card. They are interchangeable in general speech, but technically the GPU is just one part of the graphics card.

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.

It was my understanding that most games do not use 4 cores. Are there any new games coming out that are rated to use them? Otherwise, you might as well go with a fast dual core.
