Thats hot compare to X2 3800+, mine running 2 Folding@home instaces
and reaching 50-52'c load temp using Big Typhoon.

Well keep in mind this thing is overclocked 1.2Ghz over stock

No.

I have compared a 920@4066 (aircooled and 24/7 stable) with a 3800+@2510 Mhz in 7 different applications and benchmarks (DVD Shrink, LAME, Cinebench, Photoshop, Business Winstone, PCMark 2005, WinRAR) 4 different games (FEAR, CoD, Quake, Battlefield). The 920 was in almost all of them faster or at least at the level of the 3800+.

I don't mean any err.. what's that word... agression? hostility? but would you mind making a brand new thread about these tests? I'd really appreciate it (and I'd think some members on this forum would too!)

I'd be very interested in these results. Can you list these systems' hardware/settings also? Thanks

Pressler at 4.06ghz probably beats X2 at 2.51ghz. I have no doubt about that. Considering single core AMD 2.5ghz is comparable to Intel 3.8ghz. Additionally X2 further enhances encoding and other applications, so X2 2.5ghz is quite comparable to Intel 4.0ghz. However it's pretty dumb to compare overclocked CPUs, especially when someone is trying to argue that one is better. There are so many people achieving 2.7 on air as well.
