Interesting how all of a sudden you're argument changes to, "Presler isn't geared toward games". Our original argument was about overall performance... The Presler failed that test already, as an older processor out performs it.
The Intel Presler's pipelines isn't whats holding it back. It's the entire architexture. The way it was built, it was made to have multiple bottlenecks.
1) The Dual (Double) Core process that Intel has laid out is a bottleneck. For one thing, the cores can't even talk to each other directly. They have to communicate directly through the FSB. That's a bottleneck
2) The cores are based of the CISC instruction set which already forces the processor to do less per clock. That's a bottleneck.
3) The Netburst technology, where you take the CPU's instructions and disassemble them and reassemble them in the assembly line format, is slow. It also makes the processor run much hotter.
4) The forever aging FSB is one of the biggest bottlenecks. Especially since the cores communicate using this same bus.
As far as pipelines are concerned. Encoding for the Presler is easy because all the pipelines are doing is streaming the same data over and over and over. So, there's not much calculating considering that encoding is nothing more but repeating the same calculations over and over.
And yet somehow despite all these, "bottlenecks" it still outperforms your AMD Athelon64 X2 4800+!!! How amazing is that!
And yes, I did change the argument to the CPUs aren't meant for gaming. Simply because you're comparing the FX-60 to a CPU that isn't even built for gaming! There's no comparison!
