Nice post Sir and not to belittle all the hard work you did but, i have my doubts about your testing methodologies.

The AMd 8-core gets destroyed vs a Intel i7 4-core more often then not, and best i can tell thats just the way it is.

im not really sure if how they are displaying test results is a good idea either. They're averaging over three benchmarks and attempting to post a "score" which makes no sense really.

some folding results at that speed pls! smp only as bigadv will be out of the range of FX in a few days

Just wondering what led you to this conclusion when your own observations indicate that an OC'd 3960X is 61% faster on compression and 43% faster on decompression than an OC'd FX-8150, and a stock 3960X is 59% faster on compression and 32% faster on decompression than a stock FX-8150. To me, that doesn't sound like a trading of blows; it sounds more like an out-and-out pummeling at the hands of the Intel offering.

how simple is it to set up and run some folding numbers? How exactly should i run this?

What i meant is for that benchmark we notice an FX AT 4.8 Ghz trading blows with the 3960x @ stock.

cinebench scores up!

sorry but if it trades blows with a 3960 at stock why is it that a stock 2500k beats it when the BD is at 4.8 so what a 3960 is no better then a 2500k sorry just seems to be opposed to what everyone else is say and showing
