for gaming the I5 2500k beats the amd pretty handily. plus you can easily and i mean easily, over clock it.
i have a I5 2500k and its playing COD just fine. ive run mine at 4.5 ghz with the stock cooler. however, i do have huge fans in my case.
as far as core usage goes, i let the experts handle that one. but as i see it, we're lucky if COD starts using 4 cores to their fullest, much less 6.
