The Intel Core i5-750 offer the biggest bang for the buck and with a solid motherboard like the ASUS P7P55D Deluxe that we benchmarked on you can easily break the 4GHz mark and then some. We were able to reach over 4.3GHz on the Core i7-870 by only increasing the base clock, which speaks volumes on how easy it has become to overclock right out of the box. It really doesn't need to be overclocked though if you are choosing between the Intel Core i5-750 and the AMD Phenom II 965 BE or 955 BE as the Core i5 easily outperforms the Phenom II. That means AMD would have to cut prices yet again to compete with Intel, if they want to continue out the price war between the two companies...
