As I’ve mentioned many times before, the lack of level 3 cache within AMD chips does have a major effect on memory bandwidth over Intel’s offerings, but we are slowly seeing that AMD are closing the gap between the two rivals.
It’s been years now since I’ve taken a look at any AMD processor. The last one I tested was an Athlon 64 3800+ back in 2005 and if memory serves me correctly I was quite impressed with it.
real informative benchmarks here…..all you tested was 3d mark? not even one real game? and yet the page is called gaming benchmarks?
agreed, need more benchies with the real games guys.
