Upgrading to i7, should i wait?

[QUOTE=aydin690;22090836]Did you even read the reviews? They are pretty much as fast as each other at stock speeds and the 1090T EASILY hits 4.1ghz at which point becomes way faster than a bloomfield cpu.[/QUOTE]

Hey I'm pretty sure i5 750s can get to 4GHz and higher quite easily, same for all of the i7s.

[QUOTE=Jettan;22079936]Will the six core fit on the same socket an Athlon fits on?[/QUOTE]

No. Athlon mobos are old, and even if somehow they had the same socket somehow, it would bottlenecked the shit of the computer.

Athlon mobos use Socket A - you need a Socket AM3 mobo.

Shit, little pictures like this should be used for all "versus" induced benchmarks. That's great.

So does the review that i earlier posted from guru-3d which happens to be a more reliable website than bit-tech.

Except, you know, none of the Intel CPUs are overclocked.

One of the i7 980x is OC'ed to 4.16GHz, but of course it scores higher, it costs around 900$ more..

Ok, there's one more OC'ed i7...

Everything Intel at stock outperforms it.

Ehh... Look at Far Cry 2... I wouldn't call that outperform..

Those FPS test looks quite random as the 920 scores better than the 980x in Far Cry 2..

Stop getting stock i7 benchmarks, noone keeps their i7 920 at stock.

Just saying because we were talking about price comparisons.

Last week Frys had a deal letting you buy the Phenom II X6 1055T + a motherboard for 210$.

I am pretty sure thats alot cheaper than an i7 would be.
