Don't get so wraped up in cores cores cores! Games aren't using them to full effect. 6 core amds dont mean $hit. Games aren't using all those cores. Cores may help video encoding and stuff but were talking gaming.

I think you forgot about upgrading...i want to get the most bang for my buck and if i can get 6 core for the same price as 4 than i will...because it means the rig will last that much longer...plus you forgot to mention how IMPORTANT 512k L2 is over 256 L2....L3 cache is used as a pool (by all the cores) but L1 and L2 are specific to each core (making them faster)
S!
p.s one of my favorite sayings about the computer industry is "by the time it hits the shelf's it obsolete "

so it becomes a game of how do you want to spend and when....and when do you want to spend it again
