Just wonder how some can say that I7 or I5 is a faster gaming cpu.

There are 4 tests so far on gamersettings with radeon 5850, 5870 and 5890.

Well xbit lab i actually dont count as a valid test, becouse they paired x8 Crossfire, Am2+ motherbored with 2 gb DDR2 of ram vs i7 x16 crossfire and 6 gb DDR 3 ram.

I5-750 vs phII 965 - With radeon 5850

Devil May Cry 4 Benchmark

Benchmark Reviews uses the DirectX 10 test set at 1920x1200 resolution to test with 8x AA (highest common AA setting available between GeForce and Radeon video cards) and 16x AF. The benchmark runs through four different test scenes, but scenes #2 and #4 usually offer the most graphical challenge.

I5-750 - Loses with 4,8 fps
Sene 4
I5-750 – Loses with 4,4 fps

Far Cry 2 Benchmark

Benchmark Reviews used the maximum settings allowed for DirectX 10 tests, with the resolution set to 1920x1200. Performance settings were all set to 'Very High', Render Quality was set to 'Ultra High' overall quality, 8x anti-aliasing was applied, and HDR and Bloom were enabled.

I5-750 – Loses with 1,8 fps

Resident Evil 5 Tests
Benchmark Reviews uses the DirectX 10 version of the test at 1920x1200 resolution. Super-High quality settings are configured, with 8x MSAA post processing effects for maximum demand on the GPU. Test scenes from Area #3 and Area #4 require the most graphics processing power, and the results are collected for the chart illustrated below.
Area 3#
I5-750 – Loses with 1,6 fps
Area 4#
i5-750 – Loses with 3,7 fps


So yes if you want to play on low resulution and with eye candy off, i5 and i7 is superior, but can you see it ?, most lcd screens works on 60hz, witch meens 60fps.

But what happens when u turn eyecandy and resolution up.

As far as i can count of the 3 valid tests on gamersettigs

Phenom II 965 has 12 wins
Ties 2 times
Phenom II 965 looses 4 times

Well one time major, but this should tell u that in most games Phenom II is evry bit as good as i5 and i7, actually a littel better.

This also should tell evryone that is interested in hardware that testing on low res and with eyecandy off do not tell the truth wich cpu is a good gamercpu.

Yep, gaming is gpu limited. Now, how do they compare in cpu limited tasks?

If you are in the market for a 6 core cpu, I'm pretty sure gaming is not your primary concern at this point, otherwise you'd be looking at higher clocked parts with less cores.

How the Intel and AMD 6 cores compare in gaming means nothing, as both will already give you the same playability.

I would have to agree w/ Wile E. If you are a gamer, then either "NEW" CPU will do just fine. Obviously you can't compare older Pentium 4's and Athlon XP/64's because they did in fact bottleneck the graphics card in some form or fashion.

If you want to compare CPU's for performance, then you need to use multi-threaded programs and video editing software that will use all those extra cores. Also software such as Photoshop etc. that will really determin how fast the CPU is.

Video Games is not a great way to determin how speedy your CPU is. In the time of "OLD" the graphics card did get bottlenecked by the CPU, but not anymore, that bottleneck does not exist anymore IMO with the newer CPU's.
