Errr.... the cheapest i7 costs more than the most expensive Phenom II... like quite a bit more.... Over here is Australia, Core i7 920 = AUS$469. Phenom II 940 = AUS$389.


Another thing to consider when buying an i7 is the other parts. You'll be foreced to buy a retardedly expensive motherboard and DDR3 memory.
