Core i7 crossfire

[nvsone]

I plan on getting 2 4890s in crossfire. Will a core i7 increase the performance? or am I better off geting a core 2 quad?

That'll be a 100% kickass rig!!!!

i7 owns C2Q, just make sure you get good RAM and mobo.

i7 = 4 cores on one die
C2Q = 4 cores on 2 die

C2D = 2 cores on 1 die
Pentium D = 2 cores on 2 die

C2Q = usually cheaper than i7si7 Quad = 4 cores on 1 die
Core2Quad = 4 cores on 2 die

Core2Duo/Pentium core Duo = 2 cores on 1 die
Pentium D = 2 cores on 2 die

Pentium/Celeron = 1 core on 1 die


Core2Quad = usually cheaper than i7s
