Why? It's just plain worse than 2500(K) for present-gen games.
That's why Intel's current lineup is crazy on acid -- their $200 i5 processor is not just better value for money, it's just plain better than the most expensive high-end cpu they make for most everyday tasks. There's just no sense in it.

Sorry, but was your purpose to point out how much i7 990x sucked?
You can easily get better scores with i5 2500K in everything but the synthetics.
Post your better results from your system then.
What's with the n00b uprising here?

There you go crisis warhead 1920*1200 0*AA, now i know you are going to come back and say "Yeah but with ""these"" settings the 990x is faster" But as you are trying to complare a £750 CPU to a £240 CPU let alone the fact the MOBO and RAM are going to cost you more on the 1336 i think i am allowed to pick the test parameters as long as they invole a "real" game and not a benchmark.
You call the duel I pick the weapons
So we can pretty much say at any price point below a 990x with quad top spec GPU's a SB system will be able to afford more hardware on board and smash a 990x.
I can feel the flames approaching so please realise i am talking about GAMING only here.
