i5-750 vs. 32nm i3/i5 overclocked

[biostud]

Anyone seen gaming benchmarks of these compared?

Is 2010 going to be an utterly boring year for CPU's or can we hope for cheap 6 core CPU's or 32nm Xeon quads?

Cheap 6 core CPUs? Not from Intel.
Cheap 6-core AMD CPUs? A distinct possibility, depending on how you define cheap.

Only two game benches, Anno + FC2, but it's a good initial look at how an OCed i3/i5 compare to stock Lynnfields.

Also I believe Zeus has his own numbers in this thread:

Refer to posts 22, 24, and 25.

a direct comparison would be nice though since they're close in price

 

[Hey Zeus]

In single threaded apps they're close. It takes a 4.3Ghz Bloomfield to beat my single cpu score in cinebench when i'm at 4.6Ghz

from AMD I would just like to see anything that can rival i5-750
