yeah Intel usually has better performance

yeah Intel usually has better performance

id say thats why amds 8 core processor costs like 80 bucks when the 8 core xeons cost like 500 bucks

[nerraD]

Xeons are workstation class CPU's though.

i7 ivy bridge is better I think

[Momentum]

the best core i7 you can get has 4 cores, 8 threads, and they clock at 2.9 ghz

the best xeon you can get has 8 cores, 16 threads, and they clock at 2.13 ghz

im not sure what one could be described as better

How do you guys check your computer specs? Do you type in DXDIAG to display your specs?

Let me rephrase that, i7 ivy bridge will be better for YOUR uses.

i wish laptops could be upgraded, i don't wanna be stuck with a 6750 and 1.8 ghz A8 forever.

You don't necessarily need a 1tb hard drive, a 750 gb one is ample and about $15 bucks less
