I know it will be cheaper as a platform than i7 ... but why it's cheaper than i7 yet performs better than i7 ?
I would say that it depends on the application. i7 is a workstation so it will perform better on those apps. i5 is desktop so it will perform better on desktop apps. As far as price well it's cheaper to fab i5 i.e. die size? yields?
