Phenom II X4 Scaling With The Radeon HD 5970

Now that the Core i7 scaling results with the Radeon HD 5970 are in, it is time to see how the Phenom II X4 processors handle this monstrous graphics card. Again we will be testing at frequencies between 2GHz and 4GHz in a range of games, while comparing the results to those recorded with the Core i7...

When operating at lower clock speeds, the Phenom II X4 did not fair all that well, as we saw a sharp decline in performance. However when clocked at 3.0GHz and beyond, the Phenom II X4 really picked up the pace, and in many cases was able to outclass the Core i7. Read more at Legion Hardware.
