Super PI tends to Favor Intel Processors (Even the new Phenom II lags behind in super pi than Conroes and Penryns but Phenom II is much faster with general purpose applications) for some reason hence its not a good test to see which processor is better, wprime on the other hand favors AMD chips, the reason for this favorability is the Algorithms these programs use to calculate the Prime numbers or the value of Pi, they only use some parts of the Processor. If you really want to see how many calculations ur processor can do you should run Linpack in 64 bit mode, itll give you the most accurate performance number in GigaFlops. so in GeneralNetburst < K8 < Conroe < Penryn < *Shanghai < Nehalem                                                                                       * this is inconclusive as of yetSo no matter what you see on Synthetic Benchmarks This is the way it is.</blockquote>
