i have a computer with an AMD Phenom X4 9650 Quad-Core processor 2.3GH, and i have got a i5 760 set up. would i notice any diffence in performance and how would they oc would that make much difference
 
Yes...the i5 760 is loads faster stock for stock, and it overclocks a lot higher than the phenom 9650 as well.
 
The 760 approx twice as fast so in theory you should notice a difference in speed but depends what you do. Running office etc you won't spot any difference. Encoding a video yes you will notice the increase in speed. Games it will vary.
 
Hi there,

This page compares the two CPUs (at stock) in a range of applications.

As well as being much faster at stock, the i5 760 should overclock to ~4GHz with a decent air cooler.
