Guide is from someone at XS, probably more of a guide for finding the max frequency in as short a time as possible. I still don't feel extreme enough to post much over there..

If I recall correctly...
The 2500k is a 4core 4 thread chip. Much like the i5 750 today. The i7 950 is a 4 core 8 thread chip. In gaming with a good graphics card, you probably wouldn't notice a difference between any of them (i5 750 / i5 2500k / i7 950). 1366 socket > 1155 or 1156 for gaming. The extra PCI lanes and triple channel memory provide a small benefit. Specifically FOR gaming. Remember, the 1366 is an enthusiast's socket designed specifically for gaming and high end applications. 1155/1156 are designed for mainstream audiences. |
