It aint.Nehalem architecture is very potent.I was just saying that the difference isnt THAT pronounced as previous poster claimed .
i5 750 however is gonna be put against a 1055T, and from where i stand, for people like me who multitask heavy ,the 1055T will be a better pick.Putting aside the fact that i wont have to change mb, ram.Price of these new six cores are just THAT good.We will see if intel responds to that.Would be nice.
And all the logic draws me to a conclusion that they should be doing 4ghz on high end AIR.So single core performance is gonna be DECENT, and multicore is gonna be on par with 4 cored nehalems.I never claimed that phenoms are overally faster.Theyre smaller and weaker.Its that there are more of them
thats for sure, they will be very competitive in MT.
the thing is, i5/i7 might still have the edge in less threaded apps, of course turbo will make the gap smaller...
