Dissension between Nvidia and Intel appear to the surface. However, this time coming from Nvidia that said Intel Core i7 is not anything. But as we know that in gaming, Core i7 CPU is very suitable, but Nvidia said that it is not true. Intel had claimed that the performance can you get with the Core i7 could reach 80 percent. The phrase spoken by the Intel is enough to invite the attention of Tom Petersen, one of technical director marketing from Nvidia.

Tom Peterson explained that for testing a CPU can be a good or not, should not just try it out until there. “This is not explaining that can cover the needs in the game performance. Believe, if you test it just like that, it seems to be Core i7 can run very fast, but I do not concur that it is called a good game performance“.

Peterson gives an example if he tried Core i7 as options for the end of game. He compares the two systems, called Core i7 965-based such as “Hummer” whiles Core 2 Duo E8400 such as BMW. It is clearly visible once comparison.

Nvidia shows graph from the benchmark test in the various systems that run Crysis Warhead, Fallout 3, Call of Duty: World at War and Far Cry 2 in resolution of 1920 x 1200. From the test, that was said that Core 2 Duo E8400 and GeForce GTS 250 average running at 41.6 fps. And this ratio changed to 42.4 fps when upgraded to Core i7 965, and becomes higher again when running on GeForce GTX 260 so its ratio changed to 59.4 fps.

So it can conclude that the CPU speed is not better from GPU speed, and more suitable in acceleration on 3D so that much faster in the process.

“In fact, when you’re playing games and using the resolution of 1920 x 1200 or more, Core 2 Duo can run well with a variety of games at this time. In real games, there is no difference between the Core i7 and Core 2 Duo, “said Peterson.
