Re: Us guys like to argue that you should compare unoptimized code because almost all widely distributed code is not optimized. Incorrect. Most widely popular code has received many optimizations. Photoshop, 3D Studio Max, Cinebench, media encoders like DivX and MS Windows Encoder, games like Crysis, Unreal, Half Life, Doom/Quake, and many more.... It's not really relevant to compare all code generated by the industry, since only 10% of code services 90% of the industry's needs. That 10% is popular enough to warrant extra dollars to optimize for performance, and if it isn't the ISV themselves, then it's Intel's software and solutions group that helps to optimize for Intel architecture. And it's usually this 10% that is shown in almost all CPU reviews.
