Linfield is a good performer, as expected. Imo, i5-750 is a best in performance/price area.
Noticed the following words from xbitlabs article:
http://xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/dis...-i7-870_9.htmlLGA1156 proves to be an excellent gaming platform. When we switched to Windows 7 operating system, all former issues with Core i7 performance in games vanished. As a result, even a $200 Core i5-750 is by far faster than Phenom II and Core 2 Quad. Core i7-870, however, quite successfully competes against the LGA1366 solution – Core i7-950.
