Tests show that the i5 is going to give you superior performance. The Sandybridge i5 will definitely give you superior performance. But, will you build an AMD Phenom II Quad Core machine and think to yourself, “Man I should have went with the i5″, I doubt it, unless your video card, power supply, and other components are inferior.

The i3 does have good performance for price. The only reason I went with the AMD Phenom over an i3 for a budget build is that it is only dual core. In game performance likely wouldn’t take a hit (some games are still working on better utilizing multiple cores). However, if you are anything like me I usually have at least one program running in the background while I’m gaming. It’s nice to have a quad core in those scenarios.

Why not use the i3 series intel chips? they seem to have decent performance.

Great review. I’ve always gone AMD, question: is their a noticeable difference between the i5 and an AMD quad core?
