    i3 is actually more efficient at power consumption. Remember that the the TDP of Core i3 includes the integrated graphics, memory controller and the integrated PCI-E controller. While Core 2 Duo have integrated graphics and north bridge on the motherboard, as it is not integrated to the CPU...

    AMD or Intel

    It depends on the application you use i5 wins in gaming and photoshop 1055T wins in 3d rendering, and in most of the heavy multi-threaded applications Check the review by yourself http://anandtech.com/show/3674/amds-sixcore-phenom-ii-x6-1090t-1055t-reviewed

    New Phenom CPU's

    A 6 core would certainly beat a 4 core if they both have similar performance per core. But it is not the case with i7 because it has better performance per core, and HT. Not to mention that there isn't many app that use 6 cores. As for the price, I'm not sure if xxartanisxx is British or...

    New Phenom CPU's

    If you look at multi-threaded benchmarks, you would notice that the difference is negligible and unnoticeable most of the time and actually the i7 wins in many cases in normal App. 1090T is more expensive and does NOT offer any real performance advantage over i7 860.

    Should i upgrade?

    Yea, 1055T perform better in heavily multi-threaded application like 3d rendering, and x264 HD Video Encoding. And the difference is not that big between it and i5 750. For gaming, i5 750 is still a king http://anandtech.com/show/3674/amds-sixcore-phenom-ii-x6-1090t-1055t-reviewed/9 EDIT: If...

    Core i7 970 Six Core CPU - coming in a few weeks?

    Really ? What if I tell you that the current Intel i5/i7 can compete very well against Phenom II X6 ? There already a benchmark from a Chinese website that has Phenom II X6 1055T benchmarked. Here is the link http://diy.pconline.com.cn/cpu/reviews/1004/2096865.html i7 920 performed better in...

    athlon II x4 630 vs q6600

    If you already have Q6600, then there is no point in upgrading to Athlon II X4 You should get something like i5 750 or PII X4 965 if you want a noticeable performance improvement
