No difference in game performance and using as much power as an idle i7 when at full load. If rendering and HD programs aren't a priority, the i5 seems like a no brainer

Why didn't they test any CPU-intensive games like GTA IV? :|
Also, is there a difference between LGA1336 and LGA1156 performance?

And how much more is the i7...? I'd be amazed if anybody bought this for their gaming rig.

But wohey, can't buy them yet.
