| starcraft said: For an all-round PC, doing some gaming (things like a lot of Civ 5, some medium settings Cod: MW2 etc) which CPU is better, a Core i5 670 or a Core i7 860?
i5 670 is 3.46 MHz with a 4MB cache i7 860 is 2.80MHz with 8MB cache (but may be quad core?) |
Don't expect any program or game to run on a 3MHz processor now days :) That's Super NES performance.
i7 860 by far. It is a quad core and can kick into a Turbo mode (for CPU heavy tasks) increasing performance to 3.46GHz per core.
i5 670 is a dual core and can kick up to 3.73Ghz per core during Turbo mode.
