Why is 4 core faster than 6 core?

It's not. The lower numbers are better.

Um, it's not? That graph shows the 6-core is faster. (On that graph, shorter bars are faster.)

It clearly states time in seconds.

Normally, that means that the machine that used the least amount of time to complete the task is, cough, fastest 😉

HAHAHA, thanks for pointing that out. I should probably not be online past my bed time (8pm) 🙂. I think I freaked out after seeing that my MP shipped last night, 3 days earlier than expected.

6 cores wont beat 4 cores in everything though 😉 more applications at the moment are coded for 4 cores or less, but that should change in the next few years 😉
