On intel processores from i3 (including) up, what really counts are the cores.
Bottom line: if you're unsure about two processors with the same number of cores and same technology, of course, just get the cheapest.

Yes of course follow-up comparison will have NVIDIA results, these were just some results for those curious about Vulkan and RadeonSI/RADV in particular. Doing more tests when my 7700K arrives and I also have Celeron/Pentium Kaby coming for more entertainment.

In the tests with higher resolution and/or more demanding games you can see the 460 start to fall back... and if resolution had gone higher you would have seen the 480 fall back from the Fury in most cases as well (although 480 stays faster in geometry-limited games).

* And by "hot", I'm talking about the almost irresponsible power consumption levels for a rather pedestrian level of performance.

how in the world can you even make this statement without min/max frametime and minimum fps?

Originally posted by article page 3Do note that the i3-7100 has a higher base clock frequency than the i5-7600K (3.9 vs. 3.8 GHz) while the i5-7600K can boost up to 4.2GHz. So if the i5-7600K isn't boosting in this particular case, that could explain why the i3-7100 comes out ahead.Last edited by Holograph; 25 January 2017, 12:42 PM.

That Furry that you are so hot for* has the same theoretical computer power as a GTX-1070 but loses by a large margin in practically every benchmark that's ever been run here.
It's not even close.
So here's the source of the "shill" in my koolade - you are notoriously biased toward Nvidia. In most articles involving AMD hardware that you have posted in, you have said something either anti-AMD or pro-Nvidia. Nvidia has great products, I'm not denying that. I own Nvidia products myself. I'm aware that the 1070 is practically better than the Fury in almost every way. But you promote Nvidia to the point where it's not even necessary. It just gets irritating. The very things you complain are uninteresting about this article would be made less interesting if Michael did things your way.
I'm fine with people requesting Nvidia tests, but it's your request and everything it stands for that I don't like.Last edited by schmidtbag; 25 January 2017, 01:05 PM.

FPS isn't the be all end all, what matters is the ability to push a frame to the monitor every 16.67ms.
