I wasn't questioning your statements. Well, after I realised my score-transposition error, I wasn't. As you say, it's not the most accurate way test for comparable performance, but then you always have that issue comparing CPUs across manufacturers (now a days anyway, oh how I long for the good old days of cross-manufacturer-socket-compatibility.CrazeD wrote:
Thing is, it's not an accurate test because it's on two completely different systems. It's just a rough guess. I didn't say it was better, I said it's "promising".
Also, even if the actual chips are similar in price, you don't need to buy DDR3 and expensive motherboards to use them, as they run on existing boards.
And, yeah, as I did say in one of my earlier posts (?my first?), the ability to slot them into existing systems will sell them on that point alone.
