Re: New benchmarks for th 8350 and 3570k/3770k. Weird results.

It's still at odds with what everyone else has gotten in their tests. There are three possibilities:

1) His testing is "better" in terms of consistency and methodology than all the other review sites out there.
2) There is a conspiracy by everyone else to push Intel CPUs even though they are subpar.
3) His testing results are flawed.

I am going with #3 if they can't be verified by anyone else out there.

I think it may be 3 aswell, based on what I've read on his site he didn't do a reinstall when he switched cpu+mobo and he did the amd first. Just switched the hardware and installed the drivers.

lolwut? He just stuck the SSD into a completely new system?

Ether that or swapped out the cpu and mobo, possibly ram too. Ether way, just why would one do that?

He's cutting corners, I guess.

I could see pulling out the GPU, as that would make no difference, but he shouldn't be moving the SSD between systems--I'm surprised the OS install even worked and didn't detect new hardware and shut down and ask for a new license key.

If he is going to cut corners, he has no business making claims or publishing benchmarks. The goal is in testing is to remove as many variables as possible. That usually means a fully-functioning, fully-patched system running the latest stable version of drivers.

Shifting hardware around like that only increases the entropy he's introducing into his systems.

If he wasn't using a legit copy of windows 7 it may not have asked him for new key.

That's speculation at this point. I'll just mark these results as "suspect" and move along.

I'm not trying to say he was, I'm just saying that some cracked copies don't ask.
