to be honest i never believe half of the anandtech specs, your better off finding a real person that has both the systems and is non bias, i wouldn't think to much of a website thats obviously has to make its money somewhere, if you catch my drift.

and AMD has always been the choice for real gamers that prefer brute force and domination compared to intels girly subliminal "take me to your leader" performance.

its exactly what it looks like but it really wants to eat your soul and hypnotize you with "bum bum bum bum buumm"

keep your wallet close in hand or your intel i5 SB will steal your wallet and give it to his P4 dual core buddies >.>

and after all that you would wish a nice Phenom x4 or x6 had been there to protect you, care for you, and comfort you with quality, affordability and rock solid performance.

Macs eat souls. nuff said.

if you ask me the combination of affordability and performance out sells intel and i believe the x6 is a fine CPU.

this guy is the biased person he speaks of, that or just insane.

the i5 2500k will beat just about any other cpu in gaming and is widely accepted as the best bang for your buck.

yea the 2500K is a great CPU i built a system with it and now im back to AMD the i5 ran smooth as silk and handles any game you can throw at it, my phenom x4 also handles any game with cores to spare so it CAN go either way if you have the money to spare get the i5 but if you want to save a bit than you wont suffer a noticeable performance decrease, my post before was a joke sorry for my annoying response.





but macs do eat souls.
