why is everyone freaking out about the I7's, i found a regular socket 775 cpu thats about the same for half the price
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor
compared to
Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition 965 Nehalem 3.2GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor
both quads
3.0 to 3.2 i7 beat it
12mb to 8 mb, core2quad wins
both 45m
same voltage
core 2 quad uses less wattage
both comes with fan and heatsink
so yeah, i would rather have the core 2 quad overclocked 200mhz, insted of spending 500 more dollors on the i7, which has 4 mb less of l3 cache
and this was a compareison of the best socket 775, and 1366
so that means this socket 775 is better then the two cheaper ones to
if im wrong someone please explain why
