*Snip*
If it was a genuine error then it was a simple mistake to make and I'm fine with that . . . I hope from my explanation and "illustration" above you understand the problem a bit better . . . All I want is accurate "Facts" whether it be costs ££ or performance . . in theory quite a simple request . . . in "reality" it's a minefield of mismatched hardware specs and opinions!
You have appeared to completely misunderstand my posts, based on the fact that you have written a lengthy reply illustrating what is and isn't a fair comparison, which is not relevant to what I said in my previous post and is not the "mistake" which I highlighted I made.
I stated in my previous post, I put too much emphasis on a certain aspect in my post i.e. the specifications part and prices, which was irrelevant to the point I was trying to make. The specifications which I created was to simply serve as a filler, I did not intend for it to have any weight behind them. You can change my entire specification if you like, or use your own, it would have had no effect on the point I was trying to make, which was the following.

What I was trying to portray was if you compare two systems (A and B) which are at different price points, if you don't think the more expensive system (A) is worth the extra over the cheaper one (B), going ahead and purchasing system B based on that alone would not be the right course of action.
However, I obviously wrote my post in such a way which appeared I was focusing on the specifications part of my post and the price difference, which I did not intend too. I am more than happy to hold my hands up and say that was a mistake on my part. I should have instead simply used the specifications which you created in your original post and then made my point from there. Ironically enough, complicating things beyond what they needed to be.
Of course you have? . . . you suggested I've done enough research, you've suggested I forgot both systems from the O.P because you deem the Intel® Core™ i5 a more appropriate product . . . you've suggested I don't waste peoples time on this forum and instead google the info . . .
I did not suggest forgetting about both products, but take the Intel system out of the equation if you didn't feel it justifies the price increase in relation to the performance increase over the AMD system and then compare the performance differences between the chosen AMD system and a similarly priced Intel system, i.e. Core i5.
you've suggested the Intel® Core™ i7 is a superior product that "justifies" its price tag etc etc
Please quote me directly where you think I am suggestion the Intel Core i7 justifies its price tag.
Have to say the way you have worded it sounds pretty close to some form of "justification" . . . . borderline anyway!

I would probably say myself that a Intel Core i7 920 system is probably slightly more expensive than it should be in relation to the performance difference to a AMD Phenom II X6 1055T system. Though, products which don't have enough competition in terms of raw performance have always charged a premium.
Again, please show me were you think I am stating my personal opinion regarding whether or not I agree with the fact that it's perfectly acceptable for the top dog products to charge a premium and not merely stating the reality side of things.
Rocket Science? . . . . I'm sorry that Im not as smart as you and that I cannot assimulate the plethora of performance data as easily and effortlessly as it seems you can? . . . if you don't think it's that hard then your definitely the man I need to be talking too . . .
The level of intelligence has nothing to do with this. Anyone can come to a reasonable answer regarding something if they take a bit of time out to research into it a bit.
Are you suggesting I live in a "fairy tale world" because things in my life make sense? . . . or are you suggesting because things don't make sense in your world they shouldn't make sense in my world?
No, I am suggestion you live in a fairy tale world because you're wanting the prices of products to reflect the performance of the product and when that isn't the case, you seem to be quite confused as to why that is. Whilst I think everyone would like a product price to reflect it's performance exactly, that's not how the real world works.
The other parts of your post I haven't responded too since you're asking questions like the following:
Ah good! . . . now we are getting somewhere . . . you are suggesting that the Intel® Core™ i7 "consistently performs better" yes?
The reason why I am not going to respond to the above in this very post of mine is because I would like to create a brand new post illustrating why the Intel Core i7 system does or doesn't justify it's price increase over the AMD Phenom II X6 system when I have time. I didn't want to get it mixed up in this post which seems to be more about resolving the communication issues between us.
