[H] Core 2 Gaming Benchmarks and Media Benchmarks
[H] has Core 2 gaming benchmarks up, and........ Core 2 not all what its cracked up to be for gaming.
Why am I not surprised?
As for the media benchmarks, not a real surprise this time because the Core 2 does beat around the FX-62 pretty well.
I must say this is what I was expecting the whole time. Depending on pricing and performance of the Core 2 lower end parts I'll probably move over to Intel. As my computer is turning more into a HTPC and media benchmarks matter more to me than they use to. Either way, I dont think we'll see doom and gloom for AMD and with their price cuts they could still maintain a healthly spot in the low budget gamer rigs.
