Intel Pentium 4 670 & Pentium D 820

It's just the usual fanboy responce to imply a market leading international company who probably employ a significant percentage of the worlds best CPU engineers is somehow incompetant!? Maybe ive taken the thread out of context? :(

Imo: there's just not enough space. I gotta find an Intel engineer and ask now.

In our second Multi-Tasking test, the Pentium D 820 really showed up well against the Athlon 64 X2 4800+, which costs around four times the price

Its a bit rich to say that when all the single core A64s beat the 820 aswell ;).

They are red for a reason - that is because they are not multitasking they are simply prioritising the game and not doing anything with DVD Shrink. Thus, they are not completing the test correctly as they are not multitasking. The Pentium 4's, Pentium D 820 and the X2 4800+ are all running DVD Shrink in the background while playing the game.

Ah righto, didn't see that :)
