We will be using Benchmarks for testing the Intel Core i5 2500K and AMD Phenom II X4 970 which are:- Divx, Povray, Sysmark 2007, Windows Media Encoder, Dragon Age Origins and World of Warcraft. The Intel Core i5 2500K has 6% lower clock speed than the AMD Phenom II X4 970 and both have 6MB L3 Cache. The Intel Core i5 2500K also has Intel Turbo Boost Technology for an extra advantage to make up for the 6% lower clock speed disadvantage."
