Fallout 3 Game Performance
Bethesda’s latest game uses an updated version of the Gamebryo engine (Oblivion). This benchmark takes place immediately outside Vault 101. The character walks away from the vault through the Springvale ruins. The benchmark is measured manually using FRAPS.
Gaming performance is a particularly strong suit of the Phenom II processor, here it is actually faster than the i7-920 although not by a noticeable margin.
Left 4 Dead
FarCry 2 Multithreaded Game Performance
FarCry 2 ships with the most impressive benchmark tool we’ve ever seen in a PC game. Part of this is due to the fact that Ubisoft actually tapped a number of hardware sites (AnandTech included) from around the world to aid in the planning for the benchmark.
For our purposes we ran the CPU benchmark included in the latest patch:
The Far Cry 2 engine appears to put a greater focus on threading, which may prove to be the case with future titles as well - the end result is the i7s do quite well and the Phenom II actually falls behind the Q9400.
Crysis Warhead
The 955 just edges out the Q9550 under Crysis Warhead. The i7 continues to lead in performance.

Many online reviews written by the computer hardware. Regard it as the person seeking advice testdrives Ferrari to life when you want to buy a car for your daily needs of commuting, and he might start telling you how bad the Toyota Prius, regardless of cost or requirement. In the world of processors, this is BMW's very good that you managed to buy a very cheap price.bckolte - Wednesday, December 7, 2011 - link

I'm guessing that he is showing the processor's actual speed during the test. The 2.8GHz speed likely is due to the i7's native ability to overclock itself via Turbo Mode (see page 4 of the article). Turbo mode tends to activate pretty much any time a load is on the CPU. But it's not really "unfair" as all i7 users get that benefit without doing anything extra, plus i7 chips still overclock far beyond that point. http://www.freeinstafollowers.info/Kickzing - Thursday, March 23, 2017 - link
AMD is really good and I really like how they run cooler than Intel. It's helped me to build my website http://getfreeinstagramfollowersteam.com so thanks AMD!
