Introducing the New Phenom II 980 BE vs. Core i7-920 – value meets performance again

Lost Planet 2

Lost Planet 2 is the sequel to Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and is also made by Capcom. The events take place ten years after the first game and on the same, now thawed, EDN III. The PC version was released on October 12, 2010 and it runs on the MT-Framework 2.0 engine; an updated version of the engine used in several Capcom games. Campaign mode can have up to 4 players working together over the Internet. Lost Planet 2 allows players to create and customize their own characters which will allow them to unlock more things after leveling up and downloading content.

We are using the retail game’s built-in benchmark in DX11 with maximum settings. As the game is quite demanding, we test at 1920×1200, 2560×1600 and at 5760×1080 resolutions with 2xAA.

We see the Core i7-920 take a lead at 1920×1200 that diminishes significantly as the resolution goes up.
