^^Yea , that was just in response to what the OP :P has mentioned :P:

Ofcourse i5 will beat PII but one benchmark doesn't reveals anything :P
 
^^OP is me only:P...

That particular bench is benefited by SMT.....btw one can get the idea of performance...no ones claiming it would be better than this or that.
 
Dear OP, would request you to read the full article...the 965 is very very very close to the i7 in any gaming benchmark,...sorry but thats the truth of that article.

Err....we are not having an amd vs intel discussion. I m just posting a bench found on i5 750 and that its available at fry's
 
Nope, i5 will be bigger, as its mainstream now. How many people actually bought an i7 based setup here in TE itself? I feel a lot us are gonna switch over to i5 once its available freely in the market.
 
Won't be the same in case of i5?

high price and new platform.

and probably some upcoming processor replaces i5 place.

any way lets watch what's going to happen.
 
^^ Nope prices of both mobo and proccy will be lower as both are gonna be mainstream products. DDR3 prices will drop too in the interim. I hunch the 750 will settle at INR9.5k once its available readily, and you might get a good budget Biostar P55 based board at 5-6K.
 
DDR3 ram will drop to DDR2 prices very soon. By the end of the year maybe.

DDR2 prices are going high and soon there will be a price drop in DDR3 ram.

P55 even from asus and gigabyte would be around 7k.
 
^True . But for now, DDR3 has skyrocketed. Dunno about DDR2 though. Will fall, but dont think in the coming month or two.
