Intel Core i5 750 & i7 870 Review - PAGE 9

Demo's of those two gaming benchmarks can be downloaded for free. Call of Juarez is made by Ubisoft whereas World in Conflict is developed by Massive Entertainment. We run them at the lowest settings possible so the score isn't GPU-bound. It implies running a low resolution of 1024x768 for Call of Juarez and 800x600 for World in Conflict. This way, the processors' true power is exhibited.

Even at those low settings, it's hard to draw any clear conclusion's from Call of Juarez other than the fact that the game uses at most two cores. Every Intel processor scores within a margin of error, while the Phenom's are slightly behind, but only by a few frames.

This game also favors Intel processors. Even the i5 750 surpasses AMD's Phenom II 965. It's also interesting to note that the more expensive i7 920 platform doesn't perform any better than the Lynnfield processors in both of these games.
