Quote:i5 4670k be a super duper updgrade frm p2 x4 980 at 4.0 ghz? ie

In Dolphin , i5 3570k @ 3.2GHz(underclocked) ~ i7 980 @ 4.0GHz (Please note that Dolphin is a dual core application and Dolphin doesn't care about Hyperthreading)
i5 4670k is faster than i5 3570k
So , yes it is much better than i7 980 (at least 40% faster clock for clock)
Edit : Oops , Phenom II X4 980BE , not i7 980X . Phenom II x 4 980 is much slower than i7 980 . So you do the math
