AMD may hope that its X3 720 could compete against the Intel dual-core but in games, it was not able to cut it despite its 2.8GHz clock. The dual-cores have higher clocks and they were simply better overall here in Crysis and World in Conflict. In fact, these dual-cores performed better than Phenom II X4 CPUs. More heavily multi-threaded games may help to narrow the gap between the Intel dual-core and the X3 but we're not betting on it.

Since we do not have the scores for the Q9300 and Q6600 using a GeForce GTX 260, we have replaced that with the QX9650, a much faster processor no doubt as a reference. However, we could see here that the very competitive Intel dual-cores beating even the QX9650 in World in Conflict.
