Might want to fix that chart, Makaveli has a 970 not a 920. BIG difference.
OK, lets try this again,
We are not in 2008 or before anymore. Its time to move on.
And since you must have skipped it:

So using ICC with Cinebench is an advantage for AMD CPUs vs Intel CPUs. AMD will not be any better without, it would even perform worse in relation.
"To be more specific: With the (SSE2) compiler setting used in CINEMA 4D and CineBench 11.5, the speed advantage of ICC over MSVC (roughly 15-20%) has been slightly bigger on AMD cpus than it was on Intel cpus."
Ok, so we know you think Intel are a bunch of dirty cheaters. Yet still they hold a performance advantage (sometimes massive) in virtually all real world software. So how does this make me want to buy an AMD cpu again? Go ahead, dig deep and cherry pick...I'm sure you'll come back with some obscure piece of software no one has heard of where AMD has a slight lead.
You realize those aren't mutually exclusive points right?
Intel can be the better CPU maker and a cheater. Which, I will point out Intel distributes a disclaimer with ICC that it may not fully optimize for non-Intel CPUs and may not take advantage of features that are supported by the processor.
The fact that Intel is faster makes this especially sad.
Good point, and I'm aware of that, but doesn't that sound like AMD has some work to do? In the end though, the Intel end user still has the better experience/performance.
Yes, thanks edgemeal.. The work is appreciated.. nice graph!
You guys are welcome, but I don't see the point in updating it anymore, what started out as a benchmarking thread is now anything but and will just get closed anyway.
FX-8350 @5.02GHz
Great job on hitting 5ghz but man that is a scary looking vcore.
what are you temps and is this a 24/7 stable overclock or just benchmark stable?
