Another benchmark
Intel Core i3-540
3050 (3dmark)
AMD Phenom II X4 965
4130 (3dmark)
and some solid game benchmarks (which is what we were looking for)
http://www.anandtech.com/show/2901/12 The AMD wins in all by a larger margin than I would have expected. Expected them to be neck and neck.
Though compared to the synthetic benchmarks this is a much smaller differential.
Not bad for the boys in green.
