Good reference on BareFeats. However, can somebody please point to a website that tests hardware with real world applications, and not synthetic benchmarks or games? I want to know what difference the i7 makes vs the i5 when running software I'm going to be running - FCS and LS. That will help me make a decision - it really is not that interesting to me what a geekbench synthetic test says. REAL WORLD, please!!! Any ideas?
