Gaming Performance
Gaming performance is, currently, highly based on single-threaded performance and thus, we see no benefit from dual core. The thing to keep in mind here is that AMD's dual core solutions are closer to their fastest single core offerings in clock speed, so they end up performing more like their Athlon 64 counterparts in games - which has always been quite strong.Doom 3
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Half Life 2
Halo
Unreal Tournament 2004

Would have been nice to have a 2.8GHz Pentium D so you could get a sense of how the Intel chips scaled with an increase in the clock speed.RadeonGuy - Monday, May 9, 2005 - link
