Where did you get that quote? I don't see it anywhere in the thread. I ask because I strongly disagree with this comment and have the benchmarks/statistics to back it up. I have a friend with a phenom II X4 940, I have a friend with an I7 920, and I have a Q6600 (core 2 quad kentsfield) and I can easily say that the I7 easily destroys my Q6600 in dolphin even at a lower clock rate, and since it easy clocks to 3.8 GHz on air which is about as high as most yorksfields will go....well it's pretty obvious then that at the same clock rate it will destroy it even more. I need to go get my friend with the phenom 940 to run dolphin, then I'll post some benchmarks results.
BTW for the record I still do not recommend you get an I7 due to the price, simple not worth it at the moment.
