First I've seen of this:

Interesting results.
Seems that even with the much higher clockspeed Intel PIV EE is no match for A64 FX in gaming but that with new architecture it is competitive if one were to want to stick with Intel. Of course the PIV is still a thermonuclear reactor but anyone running dual Ultras has no care for those kind of things.
Seems that even with SLI, running eye candy and resolutions 16x12 and higher maxes out the cards limiting the difference in performance.
Seems that the A64 remains the gaming champ especially if you plan to upgrade your SLI down the road as it's still the performance and price leader.
Interesting note is that the new Intel 955X *seem* to be SLI capable were it not for nvidia (good ole nvidia screwing customers again) as Asus has included a bridge. Maybe very soon SLI is not going to be platform dependant. We can all hope so as Intel chipset = bliss.
