This is irrelevant since the data I posted is publicly available and not coming from me.

This is irrelevant. You would have to be paying at least 75 times the rate here in the US just to break $5 a month with normal usage. No country in europe has energy costs anywhere close to that high.
So then I must ask the obvious questions:
1. How much extra wattage are you pulling at 4.6-4.8Ghz vs 4.2GHz?
2. What voltages are you using for each?
3. What is your kwh rate from your energy company?
4. How much is it costing you per month?

Actually they're octacore.
bietrvat Wrote:you can expect more games coded specifically for them.
If by "coded specifically for them" you mean "more multithreaded than previous generations" then yes. Although those are not the same thing.
However this is irrelevant since as I said before the G3258 when overclocked outperforms AMD quad cores in multithreaded apps (even very well multithreaded games). So even if all future games have perfect load balancing across an infinite number of cores what I said in my post will still be just as accurate.
bietrvat Wrote:I have the Intel, i like emulators, but if its performance youd want in future games then you will need a quadcore, be it Intel or amd. Preferably Intel.
Well I disagree that an AMD quad core would be better than an overclocked Intel dual core even for future games for the reasons listed above.

Ok now we're actually getting somewhere.
Benchmarks show that the G3258 beats AMD quad cores in GTA V:

So what framerates are you getting? What settings and resolution are you using? What applications do you have running in the background? And how did you determine that it was a cpu bottleneck?
What other games do you think you're getting cpu bottlenecks in?

That is completely retarded. Is there any way to work around it?
