I've been wondering whether an i3 530 or Athlon II X4 630 would be better for gaming. While I know the i3 530 is supposed to be an overclocking beast, I also have been told that quad cores are more important for games ... esp newer ones and future games. I realize most of the burdon for gaming is on the video card, but thought I would ask about peoples take on the two processors in question. I would be pairing the CPU up with a rather high end video card, and have seen that there is very little FPS spread on benchmarking tests ... so does it really matter between the i3 530 and the Athlon II X4 630 ??
