Save $40 off the original price of $255 for total of $215 shipped. Includes heatsink and fan as well as 3 year limited parts and labor warranty. Features cool-core technology which shuts down unused parts of the processor when not in use. Dedicated L1 and L2 cache for each core. Good Newegg reviews.

Match it with the correct mobo and do some tuning to get the max bandwidth (DDR3), of course do unlock the two extra cores, you would have a pretty decent system on the cheap.
If AMD hits another Grand-slam with their mobile processors, I predict by some time next year they will hit parity.
Just remembered, read this: OCing and Latency I believe the AMD architecture is slightly better than the i7 in this respect.
