| i7 isn't scaling well at all in gaming, i would not doubt it actually being very close.

If your going to play games I recommend to either wait for amd to release
next cpu or get a E8400 (dualcore 3.0gHz).
Tho i7 is very powerfull but still quad isn't so used.

Its a quad core processor. Not 8 |
You must be young  A long time ago when hyperthreading was a choice, it sort of kind of doubled your cores :3
Thus making 4 cores + hyperthreading = 8 (hypothetical? is that a good word to use? ) cores.

Thanks, I just made a forum where all can put up suggestions to the forum.
So I screw the idea of the guestbook.
http://humperstudios.powernapkin.net/forum/
Guestbook:
http://humperstudios.powernapkin.net/guestbook.html
Also Im going to add a selection where you can request a computer build.
Like:
"I want a 700$ computer for web and games."
But I got so little time, I will also get some mods there.
Regards Humper

The Core 2 for desktop was build was based on the successful mobile Core Duo, The i7 build is started on the server side and goes down the line from there.
So for servers you won't except gaming as a main priority.

Nope, it's still 4 cores. There's 8 threads.
