Far Cry
Far Cry is still one of the heaviest FPS on the market because of the outdoor scenes in the training map, which we use.
Games have never been the strongest domain of Netburst architecture. The Core 2 E4300 isn't too threatened by the Pentium D 945. For AMD, results are quite different depending on the fabrication process. With the 65nm process, the 5000+ is faster than the E4300, whereas with the 90 nm process, the 4600+ is fast enough.
Pacific Fighters
This time, the E4300 is comparable to the 4800+ 90nm or 5000+ 90/65nm and is much faster than is direct competitors. The Pentium D 945 is a bit slower than the 3800+ and 4000+.
Flight Simulator X
Here is the framerate obtained in a flight over New York after taking off from JFK. The level of details was "average high", as higher settings were really too slow.
