Video encoding, ok.. GPU is faster by the faster Quadcore extreme by 15-20 times.
WEP2 signal cracking, ok.. GPU is almost 15x faster than intel quadcore.

Where else can the importance of 15%-20% faster processor have better impact other than old softwares (win 7 and Mac OS will harness GPU acceleration soon). --> taking into consideration that i7 is abit slower than core2duo processor in some games.

And the arrival of Larrabee (cough) will make "my CPU is faster than your CPU" thing in the past.

Soon after, faster processor will get your word start faster by 0.001s.

Sorry for this rude awakening :)]]>Nov 3rd 2008 12:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/intels-core-i7-purchased-overclocked-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/intels-core-i7-purchased-overclocked-benchmarked/

(in a fake Mexican accent) Intel Core i7 she play Crysis, El Taco he not play Crysis, he only got one arm - ei carumba! ]]>Nov 3rd 2008 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/intels-core-i7-purchased-overclocked-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/intels-core-i7-purchased-overclocked-benchmarked/http://www.pcper.com/images/reviews/634/sisoft-mulitcore.jpg . Even at 100% overclock and over 6GHz (assuming performance scales) you would be getting about 18GB/s which is on par with the QX9770. But the i7 at 2.66GHz is achieving 32GB/s.

I may be completely wrong, but if you look at any of the benchmarks the Core i7 comprehensively beats every other previous generation CPU. That's why it's not a Core 2 Duo E9500. It's a new generation altogether. Don't forget about the integrated memory controller which is probably helping performance the most.]]>Nov 3rd 2008 2:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/intels-core-i7-purchased-overclocked-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/intels-core-i7-purchased-overclocked-benchmarked/

I'm still of the opinion that 4 cores is a gigantic waste of time. Then again, besides using microsoft office and a few 3D modelling programs, all I do is play games (well, and watch videos).]]>Nov 3rd 2008 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/intels-core-i7-purchased-overclocked-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/intels-core-i7-purchased-overclocked-benchmarked/
I personally have an E4400 @ 3GHz, and it's still more than enough for a lot of applications. I'd have to upgrade my 8800GT to see any significant gains with gaming. Even 1080p decoding can be done on an integrated chipset with a low end dual-core.]]>Nov 3rd 2008 7:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/intels-core-i7-purchased-overclocked-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/intels-core-i7-purchased-overclocked-benchmarked/Nov 3rd 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/intels-core-i7-purchased-overclocked-benchmarked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/02/intels-core-i7-purchased-overclocked-benchmarked/
