AMD Athlon demolishes Intel Core in games

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

LEGIT REVIEWS TESTED AMD’s answer to Intel’s Conroe offensive. With the latest price cuts of AMD CPUs, it was interesting to see whether an X2 5600+, a sub-$200 CPU fare with Intel’s own E6300, which fits nicely into the same category. When testing in real world games, a surprise happened in S.T.A.L.K.E.R., where Intel took a beating. AMD took the lead in Doom 3 as well, while Quake 4 returned point for Intel. However, AMD demolished Intel in Serious Sam 2. Head over there and read a highly surprising review. But to see almost 50% faster frame rate in Serious Sam… even worse than Athlon 64 vs. Intel Pentium 4 in Unreal Tournament 2k4.
