Core i3 at 3.8~ vs 6870

[Immuneiod]

Hello, i am doing a build and i was wondering if one of intels new 32nm core i3s clocked in the area of 3.8 would excessively bottleneck a 6870. I have been reading the forums and i noticed that their is rarely a significant difference between the i3s and the i5s but I was wondering if anyone has any real life experience with this specific issue, and was willing to share it.

It surely won't cause any bottlenecks.. As for difference between a core i3 and an i5, there is essentially no significant difference in terms of gaming keeping in mind a dual core comparison (few i5's are quad core and they surely are better)..
