I'll tell you why you can't use CPU against CPU:
A Pc thinks as fast as its processor, and if the CPU is designed to think at a certain rate, allowing it to think faster means it reacts differently. Given a CPU knows what another CPU is going to do it's not a reasonable claim to make. You HAVE to have an X factor, in this case a player, to be unpredictable to a CPU, and force it to react to something it cannot predict.

Funny enough it is true i have spyro dawn of the dragon and on my dads pc the animations and physics are weird and choppy but the speedhacks are off and it does solid 50fps PAL with an AMD Radeon 5600 and an intel duo 2.0 ghz but on my laptop with a NVIDIA 315M with intel i3 2.5ghz it runs at 50 fps PAL but the animations and physics are a lot smoother.

That comparison is unfair. Although the framelimiter may be keeping the "average" FPS at 50 FPS, there are micro fluctuations which are the probably cause of that choppiness on the slower machine.
Depending on the level of post processing, the GPUs are fairly less important than the CPU in this case, and the i3 there is not only faster as from more modern architecture (what makes it yet faster clock by clock).
To end the post, that has not much to do with the thread topic directly, anyway.
