I'm gonna say... I7-860
roughly the same price for the chip as the 920, fits the same board as
the i5-750 and is quicker than either
2.83Ghz base clock, peak of.. 3.46Ghz turboboost (IIRC)
4 cores, HT enabled

Not that I'm ready to pull the trigger on a new upgrade, but I was
wondering what kind of performance increase I could expect from an
upgrade. Currently my fastest system is an E8500 (the other is an
E6850) and I was looking at bang for the buck. Here's the confusion,
in comparing the i5-750 and i7-920 (roughly my price range), the
benchmarks are all over the place with one not definitively better
than the other. The big issue, of course, is that the i7-920 is about
$100 more. So is there any reason (for a gamer) to go with the i7-920
over the i5-750?
Thanks....Steve
