sorry, calling it an i7 was my bad...I've corrected it.
I am keeping it in perspective. And looking through that 16 page long guide shows over and over again that the performance of the i5-750 quad core is right up there with the 1055t and the 1090t. The last summary page shows the overall performance per dollar and the 1090t comes in at .40 and the 1055 at .39 and the core i5-750 at .36. These are very similar results. Then looking further down, the power efficiency per dollar is also in the Core i5's favor.
Now, the fact that the Core i5-750 is $100 cheaper than the 1090t at NewEgg and $5 cheaper than the 1055t at NewEgg...leaves me thinking that the Core i5-750 is the better way to go. Take that $100 saved on the CPU and put it into an SSD and you end up with an overall faster computer....even if the benchmarks are a fraction of a percent higher in a couple of areas for the AMD cpu.
And I was simply refuting the person who said that Intel was overrated and over priced and consumed more power and didn't efficiently handle memory. As a general statement, i don't think there is much truth in that.
