it is -0.5 times inferior.
there is a minus before the 0.5 and not a dash.
how inferior is this thing compared to my i7 965
man! we have similar things then!!Except mine is only a 965.Lol revolt, no point getting a 990X now. This is coming from a 960+GTX 580 SLI user.
Wait for the 3930K.
The 2700k is more powerful than the 965.
Nope.Is the performance worth the price as compared to its previous sibling ??
might as well go SB-E if you wait till HD7000.
Yup, because SB-E has A LOT more bandwidth.
Thats an engineering sample.
Post your full specs mate, we must have closely matching setups. Your 965 must be a C0 revision and my 960 is a D0, which makes mine more OCable in the Base clock.
