Isn't AMD's 6 cores for around 10K better than i7 950 for 15.6K then??

no. Phenom II X6 1050T runs at 2.8Ghz & is (lot) slower. i7's main advantage is its architecture. but with 5k premium tag & a 10k+ mobo, until you need so much raw power, its complete waste of money.

more cores always dont mean better performance. having so many cores in general is good in some, bad in others. we need to know what is our requirement before we buy anything.

@Sam.Shab - when u say architecture do u mean the new threading technology by Intel(I forgot wats the technology is called,HT may be) or the large L3 cache?
@Jaskanwar - "having so many cores in general is good in some, bad in others".Can u be specific as in wat kinda applications use many cores n wat don't(like games,video encoding n others)?

ok listen
apps like maya, 3dsmax etc are efficient multicore users. if our purpose is rendering ofcourse it will be better getting a six core. but currently 1090t is not a match for i7 950. it well competed with 930 and gave it a run for its money in these tasks but 950's price is just awesome as compared to 1090t( 14k). note that intel dropped it from almost 30k to 15k..
now gaming doesnt use 6 cores. so 950, 930 and all perform better than 1090t.
amd has to drop 1090t's price otherwise sales will drop.
but one advantage it has got over 950 is that if we are on a tight budget we can go for a cheap mobo with amd. but x58 mobos cost atleast 10k.

nope. HT (hyper threading) was introduced in P4 (my 2nd rig having P4 @ 3Ghz with HT but still looses to slower Dual Core). Intel made some major changes. like QPI. this is far faster than FSB (used by AMD & Intel) in rest of the processors. also the clock of their L2 & L3 cache is high. L3 cache itself is 8Mb. One more thing is their memory controller is much better than AMD (so using 1333 or 1600Mhz with low or high latency yields almost same result. use it in Intel & see the difference in performance).
they mad i7 the ultimate proccy (but at the expense of very high pricing)
in short Intel proccy good for all apps but some apps don't need the huge performance Intel delivers. than all the extra money goes in complete waste. like in gaming, Core i3/i5/i7 holds a huge lead over AMD processors. in Video Encoding, i7 9** matches the X6 1090T & beats the 1050T. but Intel will cost you much more (processor & mobo combined) but the performance is just better (than AMD) at best. you need go through the reviews & benchmarks to have a better idea.
2yrs ago. when Core2Quad was selling like hot cakes, had anyone told that AMD will bring Phenom II X6 that beats all the Core2Quad (& some Core2Extreme), that "someone" will be centre of a big joke. more bigger joke had he mentioned that the price will be @ ~10k. now its a realty. i feel by year end when Phenom II X6 1075T comes, it'll debut at 7-8k. Athlon II X2 wil become EOL & its place will be taken by Athlon II X4 (thats my view).

Those are really cheap pricing and the psus also looks very cool as well :
GS600 (600W) - Rs. 4,700
GS700 (700W) - Rs. 5,800
GS800 (800W) - Rs. 6,700
the street price may be a little bit lesser than that though.
BTW, looks like Corsair GS series is here to compete with CM GX series PSU.

The Corsair PSUs look cool & cheap. But they have reduced their trademark 5yr warranty to 3yr (site)
The LED lighting will be a waste in a cabby with bottom mounted PSU (most mid-high range ones) unless you mount it upside down.

not all local dealers will accept items brought from outside (other states). let it be online or some retail store. if you got service center, they should accept though.
IT wares shipping mentioned in their site against the price for individual items.
