I used to know what a good processor was (i.e. 1.3 gigs was better than a 1 gig processor), but with this whole i7, i5 and i3 core - as well as AMD not even knowing what the hell they're doing with the product naming, I have no idea what is good and what is not.

It is like reading a foreign langauge.

I don't understand why:

Core™ i7-3770K Processor, 3.50GHz w/ 8MB Cache

is MORE expensive than:

Core™ i7-3820 Processor, 3.60GHz w/ 10MB Cache

Help me Hack!
