Yeah, I got what he was saying, I just figure in in lieu of you running new benchmark on you system with 0.143u9, I could run new benchmarks on another I7-2600K with MAME 143u9, to give a true comparison between the two CPUs.
It's interest what you say about the memory bandwidth, the I7-3930K has no shortage of that, but I might have a play and see what happen the benchmark results if I force it into dual channel or drop the memory clock, to see just how much the effect the drop in memory bandwidth has on MAME.
I'm not questioning what you say, I know how much memory bandwidth can effect some applications, I groan everything a see a single Dimm of memory in a quadcore system, I'm just interest to see the results.
If all else fails, Burn the manual.
