Let's just choose an arbitrary number of 5000 pixels for a scene. If Barcy at 1.6GHz finishes in 27 seconds, that is 185 pixels/s. If Kentsfield at 2.4Ghz finishes in 17s, that is 294 pixels/s. Adjust the Barcy score of 185*(2.4/1.6) for 277.5 pixels/s. As you can see, 294 is 58% faster than 185, and 2.4 is 50% more than 1.6, and in this case, the Kentsfield is faster than the Barcy clock for clock with 294 vs 277.5.

My only hope is that Kuma dual core has like a 25% speed increase or something like that over am2's of same ghz rating, AND they are like 120 dollars at most to buy. this would make intel's systems to cost 300-500 dollars more to purchase, considering the AMD boards normally run 65-75 dollars for full features and full speed. DDR2 is luckily at a super cheap price at the moment. combine all of that with a more than adequate chip, this will change the market.

gaming is all gfx card so long as you use 1920x1200 displays with "image quality" settings cranked.
