It's not an accurate benchmark to go by. As far as i know the physics bench just eats up L3 cache, so it's artificially a lot worse on the Athlons. From all the tests I've done there's a negligible difference between the FX-4300 and Athlon 760K in video encoding or gaming.
The physics score blows the 760k out of the water. Other than that though, they're essentially the same cpu. I know the 4350 has an insanely high physics score. What exactly does cpu physics mean? How does it apply in a real world scenario?
