In Mafia II we have no variations in performance worth mentioning for any of the processors.
Great review guys, i would really love to see you do much more of them =]
A really great review, good job. Waiting to get my hands on it… but don’t know when it will arrive in Brazil
Glad you liked it đ
We hope the new translators will have time for more of these.
You used DDR3-1333 for AMD APU when it’s known that those processors need faster RAM to reach top performance, unlike Intel’s which don’t scale up accordingly. As it is, this is a very Intel-biased review.

I can agree however if we’re talking GPU-performance, where may I add, even Ivy Bridge HD 4000 benefits from higher RAM-clocks as well so it’s pretty much apples-to-apples in that regard. We will be revising our testing methodology during the summer, so we’ll be taking all of these things into close consideration… LĂ€s hela »
It seem Intel will beat AMD more with this line of new generation processor. It is faster and consume less power than sandy bridge and trinity. Core per core / clock per clock basis.
I really like to know though the performance and efficiency compare to AMD trinity.
Ă realmente incrĂvel todo esse progresso/evolução da INTEL.
BRASIL – CRATO – CEARĂ

What happens if I put a 125w TDP CPU on a 95w motherboard? If I have a quad-core CPU and disable 2 cores will my CPU fit in the 95w TDP?
