Core i5 650 Reaches 4.70 GHz on Air-Cooling

lol curious too cause that would be amusing why chips can't beat a what 3 year old chip?

And why would that amusing..?

You can't beat more cores by brute force in multithreaded apps.

4 physical cores always will be better the 2 physical + 2 virtual cores in apps that use all available threads.

In a bit older games i3 will just whipe the floor with a Q6600, in encoding and other multithreaded apps it will get close sometimes, and other times the Q6600 will still be faster. Especial when we talk about non stock clocks.

Can this cpu compares to i5 750 ? or is it way lower performance ?

depends on how threaded the application is

I believe that once overclocked it might even be faster than a i5 750 in games
