World at War is the fifth of the Call of Duty series. This time, the game is back to the Second World War, even if the fourth of the same series was futurist.
Far Cry 2 is another first person shooter. It has been developed by Ubisoft compared to the first one who has been made by Crytek. The story takes place in Africa, where the ultimate goal is to assassinate an arms dealer.
In Call of Duty: World at War, it seemed all processors were just too strong for the poor GTX 260 that was used; It becomed a bottleneck at every resolution. Only the Q9650 showed that it was not as good as the others. The QX9770 was able to dominate them all in Far Cry 2. Only once the Phenom II X4 965 was overclocked that it would match its performance. Once again, both the Q9650 and the Core i7 920 bit the dust.

P.S. Intel should lower down its motherboards prices to compete with AMD's best.
AMD needs to raise their prices to compete with Intel
the reason why AMD doesnt have many mobile processors is because of their power consumption. in general, AMD processors can use up to twice as much power as the equivalent intel processor, and this is what makes them really unpopular amongst the laptop brands.
i mean intel for notebook and AMD well known for PC
and by the way, this is an old thread.
Here is a graph showing a i7 920 power consumption as compared to a Phenom II X4 940 (these 2 should be comparable, however the Intel is a higher end CPU over the AMD, as well as a newer CPU).

AMD made the stupid mistake of not seeing revenue and profits in the netbooks thinking it was a fad. Because of this they never truly developed a CPU similar to the Atom. If they had gotten in early, netbooks would most definitely be cheaper as we see a trend of AMD CPUs being much cheaper than Intel.
Just because AMD CPUs run slightly hotter than Intel doesn't mean they pack double the power. Lots of factors goes into heat production.
actually, while looking at your graphs, i dont understand why those two processors with those different speeds were compared.
i7 is better then amd x4.But x4 is more powerfull then any of others intel procesor and its very cheap when you look about i7 or i5.

correction, the x4 is more power hungry. the i5 is about the same price as the 965, and beats the 965 by a decent amount.
AMD Black Edition - AMD Phenom II X4 3.4 GHz Processor 125 W
Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz Processor 140 W
