Eh? The Intel chart was a misrepresentation, probably the 1st trick in book of lying by statistics. AMD is fighting for air at this moment and had to slash prices by 1/3 to stay competitive. AMD being in trouble is the simple truth.
I have said it yesterday,I will say it again. Trolling against AMD on AT forum is getting out of the hand unfortunately . No matter what the topic is their GPUs microstutter,their CPUs bottleneck and they are going bankrupt every few months (for 6 years now!). It's amazing.
And yet the mods don't do shit to fix this. If it was an Intel related thread... immediate action, vacations left and right, etc
Just read what the Intel fanboys wrote so far. They thread crap at free will.
Imho, the most obvious explanation would be the missing L3 and different memory controller. That could very well lead to a performance offset of several %.Generally speaking when GPU limited AMD's cpus tend to get slightly higher fps than Intels, this is not the case at any point in the review I linked. So barring some logic changing difference with A10 vs PhenomII/Bulldozer/Piledriver it seems pretty obvious the AMD cpu is struggling in mins which is bringing average below the Intel cpu.
Agreed, it's very hard to show representative performance in MMOs and they are years behind the rest of the gaming industry on the engine side and most of them still prefer fast singlethreads.That said I wholly disagree with the general use of avg fps in CPU reviews that currently takes place. From my own personal experience with many of the chips used in reviews I find their results disingenuous to the actual realities of the games themselves. Often you'll find reviews like WoW where the AMD cpu is getting 70+ fps and the Intel is getting 120+, people will of course say the AMD cpu is providing enough fps for it to not matter, however in my own personal experience in raiding, towns, and other high pop areas the real performance of the cpu is considerably lower to the tune of about 1/3 the reported average in many reviews.
Why spend so much energy to emphasize their financial troubles on a thread about PERFORMACE??? It's getting old and it only tells me that this is a tool used by trolls to attack AMD. We all know how much they're struggling, there's no need to bring it up all the time, on every thread. I see that you are ok with this, keep it up
Thats your excuse of putting up a graph which misrepresents Intel's financial position?! The AMD Trinity (and the current BD/PD) is lackluster and there no playing around that fact. http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/cpu/46157-amd-a10-5800k-dual-graphics-evaluation/ AMD financial problems are being brought up quite often because there is a stream of bad news coming out at this time and the official statements aren't that reassuring
