Even at 8.8GHZ, since it's 2 cores, it'd still get kicked in the teeth by a 4GHZ 2500k in 4 threaded + app's

Only reason people risk AMD chips for overclocking that madly is cause they are dirt cheap

Probably slower than an i3 2120.

But it is'nt though. The 8150 is more expensive than a 3570k.

Hm not on OCUk xD 3570k comes in just over £180 atm but I guess it's still not as cheap as it could be. Yet for an enthusiast using it, it would be considered cheap.

I fail!!

Was looking at the OEM price for the 3570k.

NO YOU ARE WRONG.

They only use them because they have to get rid of them some how. And burning them out seems like a good idea.
