Wonder what those i5 670's clock to. With a 3.46GHz base speed and with it's quad core brothers (with lower base speeds) clocking to just under 4GHz, maybe we'll see 4.5-5GHz out of them. Interesting.

Some benchmarks on i3's graphics would be cool too.

Don't get the i5 600 series at all.

The 750 is just the better chip for less:confused:

i3 is to pricey too.

Edit:

5 ghz 24/7 would change my mind for an i3 chip and p55 mobo combo though@ £200
:D
eagerly awaits i3 overclocking results

The integrated gfx ones.

The i5 6XX have been doing 4.8ghz they are stupidly overclockable.

I'm more interested in the i3 series TBH

3.8ghz stock vcore stock cooler



4.3 ghz stock cooler





Stop hotlinking, especially from competitors. You'll never get MOH at this rate.

Ah cool, i was'nt to sure if they would be clockable, but then again i hav'nt been doing any reading up on them like i should have, been lazy lol.

Well then if thats the case, as im not a huge gamer think these are my next step.
 
barely beats a stock phenom II 965 even when overclocked silly though and even loses but a fair bit in some of the tests.....
 
The 750 is the better CPU.

Now if you have a Q6600 then upgrading to a i3 would make sense :p

Q6600's will plummet in price now.

45 on MM very soon :D

made me smile, iv only had this build...3months? and i was worried in case these where better..

I like the idea of having inbuilt graphics :D maybe worth looking into for 2nd pc for family use.
 
I understand that the i3/i5 with H55 motherboard will allow HD audio bitstream.

This may sound dumb, but I take it I would have to use the on-board HDMI to achieve this and I would have to switch the cables if I wanted to my ATI graphics card (4850) for gaming?
