I'm guessing that when the Intel isn't using each CPU at 100%, it may mean there isn't the data available for the thread to work on. You can imagine the amount of harddrive data is being moved here and there. It shows the Intel has far greater grunt but can be hindred with resource availability.
As you can see the Intel is doing a fair job at the threads by giving near to 1/4 of the CPU time to the four threads.
The AMD in the above scores is somehow having trouble and this maybe due the AMD X2 having a software-crash, but still running half the CPU. At the time of the snap shotting of these values, there was a dialogbox over the Farcry screen which looked like an error report/message.
It would have been fair if their test utilities would halt the other machine when there was a problem, so as to produce fair results. This same case happed at the start fo the tests before THG setup the Intel system properly that crashed a few times. The AMD system was allowed to continue scoring whilst the Intel was being repaired.
