Yes, he used a high end GPU... but IMO he dialed up too many effects. Too many of the charts are all =. No CPU differentiation. Why? Because even the lowest CPUs are faster than what the GPU can render. Really needed to choose lower FSAA and AF multipliers (or something other graphics feature that is causing the problem). I was also surprised to see the bottleneck even at 1024x768. Perhaps the nVidia cant cope with so many shaders. I dont know where the problem is... only that there is a lot of time wasted benchmarking CPUs when the GPU is already the bottleneck.:shadedshuWhat? he used the 8800ultra. Tried his best to remove any gpu bottlneck. Also, its only sensible to use realistic gaming settings. He did include the 1024*768 resolution as well.

It would have been rather clever of the reviewer IF he had focused more on looking at clock-for-clock comparisons between the Duos and Quads WHEN THE GPU WASNT BOTTLENECKED. Really, what is the point of running benchmarks if you set the GPU at max max so that it is always the bottleneck? You get no insight.
If he had run the GPU at medium AA and AF settings where the GPU wasnt choking on its own breath... then we WOULD have seen a much wider differentiation in CPU behaviour between Duos, Quads, and Mhz.
Bad review IMO.
(Normally the 3dguru reviews are excellent)

You seemed to have missed one of the major points of the review...
The GPU bottleneck WAS what he was trying to show. One of his points behind the review was to show that in most games, you are going to jack the graphics up the GPU's limit, not the CPU's limit. The lower resolutions were included to show the issue between the different CPUs. But the higher ones were included to show that the GPU is still the major bottleneck, so it really doesn't matter anyway. If you look, all the low end non-GPU bound tests have framerates WAY beyond playable.
