[Solved] 1155 v 1366

That bench tells me that one CPU performs some system operations more efficiently than the other and it tells me if I'm using a given CPU at 1680x1050, the 2600K offers better performance with older games.

Are they using the same GPUs for each test?

When I compare the 2600k to the Pentium 4 660 th 2600k wins at everything, but you know that can't be comparing apples to apples with the video cards for benchmarking game performance. That performance tool at anandtech is novel, but doesn't give real comparisons.

Any new reviews out their comparing lets say a 2600k to a 960 with no OC and the same video cards with newer games? Taking a look at what you get out of the box?

I know for a fact that I've seen reviews where they compare various CPUs at equivalent speeds (if I recall correctly, it was 4.0GHz). For whatever reason, I can't find them now using Google. It's possible that they were video reviews on YouTube -- I didn't check those links.

1155 owns most of the gaming world.....1366 remains king for big spreadsheets / databases, 3D Rendering, Movie Editing and some other specialized applications. Also, if you want the bandwidth for 3 or 4 GPU's, you're gonna lean 1366.

Yes -- the triple-channel memory bandwidth.

If you're using two cards at single-monitor resolutions like 2560x1200, 1155 competes well.

If you're using more than two cards and/or using multi-monitor resolutions like 5760x1200, 1366 wins by a small margin (~7%) in some games. The rest are still virtually tied.
