U knw about hyper lucid... I guess
If not than hyper lucid is a tech which started from sandy z68 chipset mobo in which ur integrated gpu and ur dedicated gpu combies and performs as a single gpu... My point is that sandy has hd 3000 while ivy has 4000.. Hd 4000 almost performs 2x better than hd 3000
So ofcourse in this case ivy is a winner
Coming.ur point of threads.. No applicatiom use 8 threads... unless u arent a video renderer... I7 is not.for u...
Resale value...
I5 is considered to be best when we talk about resale since there are people who do gaming only and for that even a i3 is more then enough..i5 is considered since its cheap and bang for buck...
2600k is now old... Nd as I said before that new generation alwayd performs better
Like. First gen i7 equal or bit slower than 2500k which is 2nd gen pro
Same case here...
Hope ur queries are answered
