Considering the robot was a hallucination induced by the corporate kool-aid they were all drinking, I'd have to go with the i7... but then again, that kool-aid might be pretty cool.

Agreed. And before we know it... robots will take over teh world!
I don't know anything about the robot but the new "i" processors are awesome. The thing I like about them is that their turbo mode brings power to the masses that was previously only available to overclocking hobbyists. Of course you can still get a little more by overclocking but for most people there is no longer a reason to do it. I've built 2 machines for my company with the i5 and they run faster than my overclocked Q9400 and overclocked E8500.

Why not just run in "turbo" mode all the time?
im sorry for my ignorance, but i didnt get it..... are they saying that there are far better things than the i7? or that they are already making a new cpu and will take you by surprice when you buy this cpu?
