i7 has about 10%-15% more speed per clock on average then c2q if you leave out the new SSE benches where only i7 has the instruction set for.

i5 will be bit less without ht and triple channel memory, maybe 5-10% faster per clock then c2q.

Hmm alright. The i5 will be out in like 4 days or so, I'll be waiting for some more gaming benchmarks and stuff before I buy my new PC. Otherwise I will buy a Phenom II 955 Black Edition.
