AMD K10 (Barcelona) at 2.5 GHz beats QX6800 in multimedia

@ 2007/04/24
In multimedia stuff and this synthetic benchmark AMD's native quad core is 33.3 percent faster than Intel's fastest Quad core, while in the floating calculations it is a massive 66 percent faster.

The QX6850 with FSB 1333 might improve the situation a bit, but it won't be enough save the day. Intel needs to go much higher than 3 GHZ to match the 2.5 GHz K10 part.

well, the source is even less credible than the inquirer and there must be a reason that he only pics synthetic benchmarks
