Intel Quad-Core Price and Performance Showdown 115
ThinSkin writes "The folks over at ExtremeTech have had enough time on their hands to benchmark Intel's entire quad-core lineup to determine which has the best performance for the dollar. While prices range from $183 to $1399, the real bargain is with Intel's latest Core i7 architecture which outpaced many other more expensive processors. For comparison's sake, Intel's fastest dual-core CPU was thrown into the mix and was, at times, not even competitive, which suggests that we're beginning to see more and more multi-threaded applications take advantage of four cores."

I think having 2 Gigs is awesome enough. It's four thousand times as much as my first computer.
Only four thousand? It's two million more than my first computer [wikipedia.org]...
