Today, Futuremark has announced a new service which helps consumers make informed purchasing decisions for their next video card or processor using a new web based service. Users will be able to use the FREE service to predict what kind of "Bang for their Buck" they would receive with the new hardware in their machines.

Almost no Core2 cpu's to find in the best dual and single core list.
There should be more of this kind of list, comparing performance/€ is more interesting than comparing pure performance (unless you're absolutely not interested in the price)

it must be said though that the CPU tests are of unknown value to the overall system performance, media encoding, web browsing, gaming, etc tax the CPU differently, there are no details on how the CPU test of 3D06 taxes the CPU and how it translates into real world performance;

so take the charts with a grain of synthetic salt

of course I do

. I've never valued a piece of hardware after reading one review and looking at one set of results
