look at reviews and you will see the 2600k is not doing anything more than the 2500k for games. take into account the overclocking headroom that will easily handle the next few gpu upgrades and the 2500k is certainly the better purchase for gaming. and as already mentioned, by the time the 2600k has an advantage in gaming we will have much better cpus anyway.To my surprise, I find that HT is being used with quite a few games. I dont think it is the games that are written to use more threads perhaps. Rather it seems windows 7 balances the load between the logical cores. The highest load between all logical cores I see in Mafia II.
