Thread: i3 and i5

Has anybody heard about them?

Apparently Intel is coming out with less expensive versions of the i7.

friend has an i5, spent tons of cash on his damn pc lol.. it's insane..

Don't even try. You won't be able to afford it. It's too damn top notch

my new comp I ordered has an i7, can not wait

my pc ill make for gaming,
case- antec 200
motherboard- asus
processor- intel core i7 extreme
ram- dominator (8gb) @ 1600 mhz
hard drive (boot drive) an ssd drvie 80gb to boot windows faster probably a vertex
hard drive- samsung spinpoint 1tb for storage

2x gtx 275's
750 watt psu
dvd+cd read and rw drive
bluray drive
my current 22in monitor, cybersniper mouse and g 15 keyboard with 2.1 speakers

and ofcourse..
the main part..
diablo 3..
(ive been saving for this pc since i first started to make them a few years ago (putting small change away) and alot of this stuff will probably change when i actually make it next month..

EDIT; Oh yeah and ofcourse windows 7 ultimate because its got the xp compatability mode so i can run D2 without the crappy vista issues.. =]

i3 and i5 are just the new names for older processors by the way they cost no more just different packaging.. accordin to custom PC.. i think dual cores are i3, quad are i5 and the new ones with five cores are the i7

i7's are quad core as well

well technicly speaking yes but they are dual thread cores, so the pc see's it as eight, but yeah your correct =] sorry for misleading anyone, but still, i7's are the shit!

I have the i3. I love it

I'm using I3 too, I have no complaints. Havn't come across anything I can't run yet.
