    ive seen a number of synthetic benches on these processors.
    however i would rather have real world programs and games as comparisons.
    i wonder if any of you can help out in this aspect.
    in terms of programs im looking for comparisons in these programs, but any program comparison will do for reference:
    photoshop
    adobe premiere pro
    adobe after effects
    adobe media encoder
    power director
    powerdvd
    winrar

    in terms of games id wanna check (but not limited to) comparisons on these:
    company of heroes
    empire total war
    napoleon
    dawn of war 2
    starcraft 2
    metro 2033
    mirrors edge

    Unfortunately all I have are synthetic benchmarks, otherwise I would help out.

    IMO you should include benchmarks like wPrime, SiSandra, Cinebench, 3DMark06 CPU, 3DMark Vantage CPU.

    based on your benchmarks how fast are the 840,920,940 compared to the 720 (in percentages) in single and multithreaded benches
