$300 Gaming CPU's: AMD 5000+ Versus Intel E6600 - TechAmok
$300 Gaming CPU's: AMD 5000+ Versus Intel E6600 - [hardware] 08:05 PM EDT - Jul,19 2006 - post a comment Legit
Reviews posted a comparison review beteen the AMD 5000+ Versus Intel E6600.
Here's a taster:
Our testing showed that when gaming at high resolutions the limiting factor
is not the processor, but is actually the graphics card. This was shown to be
true in three out of the six games that we benchmarked. We used the ATI Radeon
X1900XTX graphics card, which is the fastest single card GPU on the market (not
counting the NVIDIA 7950GX2) and comes priced at a healthy $499 so it's not like
we put in a weak video card by any means. The reason we didn't run X1900
CrossFire is because how many people can really afford it to start with? Most
gamers we know still run a single GPU and no physics card! We tried to make our
testing go along with what marketing data has shown in recent months.
The bulk majority of gamers run resolutions of 1280x1024 or lower and for this
group of gamers the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6600 won five out of the six
games when tested at this resolution. In the benchmarks where the processor
mattered like Comanche 4, Far Cry and X3 Reunion the Intel processor was able to
show clear advantages versus the AMD competition.
So after running these benchmarks it's clear that at 1600x1200 and the eye candy
enabled the GPU is the limiting factor right now when it comes to gaming
performance. With the next generation ATI and NVIDIA graphics solutions already
taped out and due for a launch later this year we should be seeing better gaming
performance before Windows Vista starts shipping.
