potatochobit Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Wow, this opens my eyes to how useless CPU differences are when they are in the same category of tech in regards to gaming you need to do some video encoding/rendering benchmarks, something that this CPU can shine in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccokeman Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I have some multi threaded stuff in there. Bibble 5, Cinebench, WinRar, Looking to add some and take away others. Where you have multi threaded apps you cant touch this one. THere are some games that supposedly handle more than 4 threads now like RE5. If you do real work with the CPU this one does the job quite well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
