Hello everyone, I know this may sound dumb and not much of an upgrade but im curious what you guys might think and I know we wont know till the reviews of keveri are here so I just want your guys opinion.
I have a dual core sandy bridge i3 and want to upgrade to a quad for the up coming next gen games. Since everyone is questioning the viability of dual cores iv wanted to upgrade this holiday season I now realize most of my potential christmas money would be spent on an i5 and would prefer to have more money for the steam winter sale. Since I am happy with my dual core at the moment iv wondered if I should hold on to it a bit longer and if steamrollers single threaded performance will reach sandy bridge level because I would prefer to not downgrade on single threaded performance. So what im considering is purchasing an fm2+ motherboard and gathering some extra money when I can in the months after december and hopefully when the athlon x4 770k releases ill purchase that. The question is how much of an upgrade would that be so im asking for your guys opinion, also to note I dont have a job at the moment or my decision would be much simpler.
