X-bit Labs reveals the truth!
And more of it
Now while the benefit isn't enormous, & only some games are multithreaded, i still think this is huge.
Quake 4 & Serious Sam 2 - two new titles - are rather obviously multithreaded!
In the tests run, with those games, an X2 4800+ outperforms the 400 MHz higher clocked FX-57 & X2 4400+ > 400 MHz higher clocked FX-55
In the tests run in the "real world performance" second article where they stress the video card as well, the X2 3800+ is only one fps slower than the FX-57! :Q
While this is only two games, it's good news for those of us who took the dual core plunge.
Feel free to mention other games you know of that are multithreaded.
