I was originally planning on just throwing the i5-3750k in the new build given I don't see much of anything I'm going to do with this PC save for some work related stuff which would end up being purely icing on the cake (I'm a developer and I'm in charge of some code that I wrote that is highly scalable across pretty much infinite threads). So having just blown $500+ on a GTX 680... I'm now a little bit more open to spending an extra hundred bucks for hyperthreading just because this PC is turning out to be not so budget and cost ratio wise the extra hundred bucks isn't going to make the entire PC that much more costly as a whole.
Still kind of hee-hawing though... I'm not really sure at this point, but it seems some people think the i7 parts are binned better than the i5 parts but is that just conjecture? If all I'm getting is a bit better performance in extremely threaded situations and single core performance goes nowhere I'm still at an impasse.
Given that this is the end of the line for this socket and don't want to do a major overhaul for years does it just make sense to bite the bullet and hope hyperthreading gives me some more tangible benefits 2 years from now apart from the situations that it helps in today or will I pretty much never really care?
