Value Propositions of Current CPUs Put to the Test

Posted by Zonk on from the more-gerbils-for-the-money dept.

J. Dzhugashvili writes "Processors are typically compared by their performance alone. However, the folks at The Tech Report have put together an article that attempts to quantify the value propositions of AMD's and Intel's latest processors. The article takes 16 processors through an extensive battery of tests that range from gaming and video encoding to Folding@Home and energy efficiency, and examines the value they offer in each. The results may surprise you."

    Call that a cliffhanger? In my day, we had to make our own cliffhangers. With our bare hands! And we were grateful for it.

    Hibernating or suspending doesn't work when you need to be standing by to service a user. Same goes for hookers.
