Well, that's pretty close to the 450-500W my PC pulls four-five hours per day, 120W (resting) another eight hours per day, seven days per week, fifty-two weeks per year. Pretty close indeed.

Heh, I agree...too bad AMD's drivers don't work properly (in contrast to Nvidia's). At least the hardware is on par, if not the software (can't say the same for BD and SB...kind of a blowout).

This isn't true anymore...a G620 ($70 or less), and debatably a G530 ($50 or less), will defeat far more expensive AMD PII (and therefore Bulldozer) quads (running much higher clocks) in 99% of "daily" PC tasks (because they use two or fewer cores). IPC is most important, by far, to nearly all...

Heh, that has to be some kind of typo. I'm guessing one frame every four-five seconds (triple SLI'd 580's, Battlefield 3, highest). Is that playable? :) Wtf...

That's correct, if you're playing only the newest DX11 games that virtually guarantee, at settings anywhere near highest, that your GPU will be running at 100% 100% of the time. Run Far Cry 2's benchmark at lowest resolution and settings, with v-sync on, and monitor CPU and GPU usage. You...

Finally..."hard" evidence that dispels the (baseless) myth that both chips have equal weight in gaming with "modern" games. Is there any chance of having usage (%) graphs added to this review, showing when and where GPU usage isn't locked at 100% (thus clearly revealing CPU limitations [for...
