Best Gaming CPUs For The Money: December 2012 (12:00 AM - December 11, 2012 by Don Woligroski)
Diminishing Returns Kick In:
CPUs priced over $230 offer rapidly diminishing returns when it comes to game performance. As such, we have a hard time recommending anything more expensive than the Core i5-3570K, especially since this multiplier-unlocked processor can be overclocked to great effect if more performance is desired. Even at stock clocks, it meets or beats the $1000 Core i7-990X Extreme Edition when it comes to gaming.
大意是連現在最新的遊戲,以 i5-3570K 就已近頂,更高階的 cpu 亦難分軒輊,使作者找不出好理由推薦給一般用家。
我甚至更「偏激」地建議用 i3-3220,省下的兩千元撥至獨顯或 ssd 的預算上。

Gaming CPU Hierarchy Chart : i3-3220 比 e-8200 高四階(4 tiers),應屬「有感」升級。
