I'm going to stack it next to my chip (i7 3970X) and see where it goes. Issues I see here are temperature, in addition to lower performance. Even the console manufacturers realized it's not all about the clock speed anymore.

I have a sneaking supiscion your i7 will destroy this chip. The only advantage the AMD chips ever had was in highly threaded applications, and I don't think the advantage was particularly noticeable.

In games the i7 will win out.

Also, you may want some water cooling

I do water cool

Not to derail the thread but curious what kind of a watercooling loop you set up. Dual, tripple rad? Res or a T line? D5 pump? Got any pics? :p
