    I think it is you who is confused by the meaning of efficiency, since when does it have anything to do with the price of the processor? I think you will find that falls under the “value” heading.

    I have to assume that since you quoted text from the article that you actually read it, but then based on your comments I am not convinced that you read it all.

    To clarify we were talking about the efficiency of the processor in the sense that it is not as well utilized by the game as the Intel competition. As we said in the article the AMD FX-8150 saw a utilization level of 46% while the Core i7-2600K only reached 34%. The Core i7-2600K delivered more performance while working a lot less so what was the dictionary meaning you gave again … ohh that’s right “Accomplishment of or ability to accomplish a job with a minimum expenditure”.

    *Yawn*
    You know what happens when you selectively highlight portions of the whole to make your argument?

    Maybe you missed this part:
    You know what that translates to ? Core efficiency. Now extrapolate that over a wide range of games.

    Thanks for the trolling- hadn't seen any for twenty minutes- thought you guys might be dying out.

    EDIT: Steve beat me to the punch

    The specs of the Intel plattform were specified, and the AMD ones were missed...

    We only tested GPUs on the Intel platform.
