  • is the intel i7 processor worth it right now?

    im hoping to either buy or build a PC later this year. but my big fear is the new i7 processor.

    im afraid if i get the core 2 quad later this year its gonna be outdated and games will start using the i7.

    is it that great for gaming?

    Games don't even use all four cores let alone an i7.

        You won't be. The quad series has been out for a few years now and it's still pretty much worthless for everything besides video editing.

            Let's just say the difference, if any, will be minimal at best.

                If your only into gaming on a PC then stick with a dual core processor. Try to anticipated your build before you drop money on it so that you can upgrade in the future. Personally I've always been a AMD/ATI person myself. But from what I have read and been told the Core2Duo's still have a lot of bang for buck.
