Anything over an i5 for gaming, unless you absolutely must have the best, is unnecessary. The PCIe differences, however, are some food for thought!

"An i5" is stronger than either of these CPUs for gaming. Both CPUs he tested could be considered weak.

Well for gaming, yes, an i5 will be the best. However, for someone like me, that does much more than gaming, that CPU just won't cut it at all.

Yes, but the thread's hypothesis is about gaming right?
