I'm considering buying a PC for gaming in the near future. I'm wondering if going for an Intel Core i7 would be worth the extra money it would cost over a Quad core.
Would I just be throwing money out the window? Any help is appreciated, I'm not sure what the benefits (if any) the i7 has over the current Quad Core technology.
for example, the two below processors look fairly similar, would the i7 be superior?
Intel Core i7 Processor 940 (4x 2.93GHz/8MB L3 Cache)
=== Quad Core ===] Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q9650 (4x 3.0GHz/12MB L2 Cache/1333FSB)
Thanks for any info
