If gaming is what you are after this will beat it. Faster in most other things as well. Total is $1079.89 with $45 in mail in rebates.

Even at slower stock speed and with fewer cores the better architecture of the i5 makes it faster in just about every real word application. Thuban is faster in a few synthetics and that is about it. The i5 also keeps scaling as you overclock and the Thuban hits a wall around 3.4-3.6 and stops improving. Even the Phenom II 9xx series are better gaming CPUs.

I am no fan boy either way but at $200 i5 wins. AMD is great for budget systems. I am building my sister an X3 440 system right now.

ehh looks like a good combo although in some tests and benchmarks a phenom X4 is better in games than the X6
