Drool all you want, you can't afford it. ;-)
Then again, several of the benchmarks I've looked at have the 2-core
Core i3 chips at the top of the table, with the 6-core EE chip several
seconds slower. (Multithreaded, MUCH?)
The real question, of course, is whether the triple-channel RAM (which
makes the motherboard 120% more expensive) is actually worth it... This
seems to vary by benchmark.
I wonder how long it will take for hexacore to become cost-effective?
(Or how long before software starts using it - most software I've seen
is still doggedly single-threaded!)
