| | The only issue with this as it has usually gone this way, as it's usually the flagship of the fleet that has the luxury of having the newest technology first rather then the mainstream. With mainstream they can deal with having older technology for awhile till the new stuff slowly filters down the pyramid since they aren't paying as much of a premium. Flag this | Edit this post |

The reason why they test the GPU with the most powerful CPU hardware available, is to make sure there is nothing hindering the performance of the GPU and to keep all other factors constant besides the GPU.
That way they don't violate the law of the scientific method.
You could ask that they do a "realistic gaming performance" review, but that is for another time.
This way you can see how this GPU scales in realtion to others and to deduce which is the stronger. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Huh? Leading??!! K7 lost the lead back with the Northwood C's.
Pentium 4 with HT are more responsive for general use so they had thier purposes against Athlon 64's which performed well for gaming.
AMD got the lead finally, with the Athlon 64x2, and then priced it in the stratosphere. :)
Z-RAM has only just been aqcuire in Mid 2006, it will take some time before we see AMD implement it into their processors. We will have to see if it becomes substance rather then hype.
Well the best hope at this point for AMD is K8L, though that isn't coming till Mid 2007 at the earliest and that is optimistic. Flag this | Edit this post |
