******************************
NOTES
----------------
All scores based on TR reviews.
Prices are from Newegg as of Nov 2, 2009
----------------------------
Q: How is the total score calculated?
A: Non-Gaming = 76%, Gaming = 24%
Q: Why do some CPUs only have a "peformance" score?
A: The performance score for CPUs from older reviews do not have a gaming score or non-gaming score because of non-inclusion of games for older reviews in the chart. However, because of the way I calculated old scores using base from the newer reviews, gaming scores from the current reviews impact the older CPU scores.
Q: How come processor X isn't in the list?
A: I'm lazy.
Q: How come you only included 13 of the benchmarks for the non-gaming portion instead of all of them?
A: I'm lazy.
Q: How come the older cpus aren't there? This makes comparing my current cpu to the newer ones impossible!!! *%$#D##@!
A: I'll try to add more cpus in the future.. eventually.
Q: How come AMD looks to have the performance / price win across the board?
A: They have lower priced cpus.
-------------------------
Gaming portion includes the 4 games benched in the Phenom II review.
The Non-gaming portion includes the following benchies: World Bench, MS Office, Firefox + encoding, winzip, Nero, Photoshop, Panorama, Pic Color, x264 HD, windows media encoding, Lame MT encoding, cinebench, POV ray.
Base is currently the X2 6400+.
Naturally, the peformance/price numbers don't mean everything.. but it at least gives you an idea how much extra you're paying for the higher performing cpus.

You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid.
