Power vs Price...

[jabbrun]

I'm curious...which do you guys feel is better...a CPU which is powerful compared to others with the same speed but cost a lot more...or a CPU which is more powerful compared to others with the same price point?

I would rather have one with a better architecture and pay a few bucks more then one with the same power that's cheaper.

In general, buy a CPU based on price and performance, not clockspeed.

a cpu is a cpu, either you want to game and watch movies or you want to do basic office tasks or you want to render some serious content, as for me, i will choose whatever gives me best bang for buck, i dont mind waiting half an hour for a movie to be converted, and im not paying 10x the price for tripple the speed, powerfull cpus are for rendering, getting a anything above a i7 930/x4 955 for an average gamer to me is a waste, the epeen mentality drives capitalism, but i dont think it makes sense,

aah wth im just hating, i know if i had that kind of dough i would be more than happy to get myself a 980x lol
