Your are lying to yourself, in error and complete fantasy land since we are looking at GPUs, not CPUs. The loads for GPUs are embarassingly parallel. When you compare CPUs to GPUs in the GPU's forte, then you had better use GPU loads. And there, EE C2Qs are hopelessly far behind. That is why even a small IGP can blow past the fastest CPUs when it comes to GPU loads. Go ahead try running most current games under Vista with only a framebuffer for the video side with the CPU having to do all the work of the IGP. Then play any demanding 3D game, even 2-4 year old ones. Turned into a slow slide show. With older IGPs, it turns into something with motion. With top end IGPs (Intel ones aren't good enough), it becomes quite playable. The current flagship GPU, the 4870x2 runs them as fast as the CPU can handle the non GPU portion. In short, the bottleneck becomes the CPU, not the GPU. For those games where the frame is quite large (2560x1600), HDR is on (48 bit color) and the eye candy is maxed where even the 4870x2 slows down, the EE C2Q CPU using only a frame buffer likely will not display a frame more than a few times a minute.

Then compare just power usage in watts which is what your ridiculous post did. And I just showed the world comparing power usage without looking at performance or including the same things was incredibly stupid. You either should have known that or you have no business posting here at all. And the subsequent posts just showed more of that ridiculousness.
