yes, because even AMD's Phenom x6 probably wont compare to the i7-930

So are you running something particularly CPU-intensive on any kind of regular basis? Because if you're not, then there's no reason for you to ever want a CPU from the i7 line.

EDIT: Anyone who considers buying a Core i7 for gaming needs to look at these charts.

Enjoy paying hundreds of dollars more for a 3-4 average FPS increase I guess.

actually they are capable of a lot higher FPS gains, its just that games are programmed for 8 threads,.
