Found this article interesting about the new Sandy Bridge E that's to come out in the near future.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/core-i7-3960x-x79-performance,3026.html

In the end, the current i7-2600K seems to be the better choice unless price is of no concern. It still ties or beats out the newer i7-3960x in single threaded apps, and isn't that far behind really when the 3960x is able to use all 6 cores over the 2600K's 4 cores. The $1000 price tag isn't worth the improvement really, unless you're a hardcore workstation user.

What's more "price for performance" efficient? Phenom II X6 1100T overclocked, or an i7?

Throw all that stuff out of the window and get yourself a Zilog Z80.
