i5/i7 P55 systems are here!!!!
After weeks of testing we have concluded that the performace difference between the older Core i7 X58 (Socket 1366 Triple Channel RAM) and the brand new Core i5/i7 P55 (Socket 1156 Dual Channel RAM) is 1-2%. The price is huge though, and to top it off the i5/i7 CPUs with P55 motherboards overclock better than their i7 X58 cousins.
It's a win for your pocket and a win for performance.
Whatever you budget or requirement there's a P55 system for you whether you're on a budget or needing balls-to-the-wall dual video card overclocked CPU performance :)
