the i7 2600K ($317) outperforms the $1,000 plus i7 975 and over-clocks better

I thought the only $1000 Intel CPUs were 6-core (desktop CPUs I mean)... How can they justify the price of the i7 975 when the i7 980x is basically the same price with 2 more cores and the same clock rate?

I gotta be missing something here.

IDK but you can't argue with the truth
