 |  Weighing the value of today's processors PROCESSOR REVIEWS TEND TO FOCUS on performance, and rightly so. We all want to see how well the latest silicon plays games, encodes media files, renders scenes, and performs various other tasks. But performance isn't the only metric that's important for CPUs. http://techreport.com/reviews/2007q2...f/index.x?pg=1

| 3 out of 5 are AMDs, and I can understand from the data for most users. However, overclocking is not in the calculation amoungst some enthusiasts.

| We also left the render energy results out of this calculation, since that measure of energy efficiency is quite different from a benchmark score. that can easily add the few dollars needed to put intel ahead |
