Not necessarily. More cores to do NOT mean better CPU.
Example. A 1100T (Top of the Thubans) is a 6-core chip but...


fudzilla are a reputable site who seem to break news stories on a regular basis
They reported a week before anyone else that desktop BD would not be release on september 19th

but I do understand the hero worship the fanboys have for intel so I suggest you have a cup of tea, try and calm down , while you come to terms with being ripped off again

come on dude, you don't have to insult him to defend yourself... no offense but it just makes you look bad. So far both of you have given decent advice on this issue, there's no need to get nasty about it.
 
Lapez, your question was answered fine by Outlander.
BD is expected to release on September 19th, however there is a unofficial report that it could be delayed till October to release more diverse set of chips. Since Intel is expected to release Ivy Bridge in a few days. However All signs point to the September 19th launch being the date.

Ah ok cool... so would it be better for me to wait untill BD comes out? i mean like i said, i'll be getting parts as i go so i could wait to get the CPU until BD comes out, as long as it comes out sometime in Oct, latest. If it takes too much longer then that i'm afraid i'm too impatient to wait lol
