3500+ venice or 3700+ san diago
which core would be better value for gaming?
i know they both run at 2.2Ghz and the only difference is the extra 512k of cache. will this scale game frame rates as much as a clock increase?
i am a pureist so i want the best possiable core for gaming in my budget. thanks

The 3700+ is the best value for money and clocks really well with most of them hitting 3ghz easily on no special cooling.

3700+ for the extra cache.

well the extra cache might give an overhead in some situations but will be a drag in others.
for example superpi runs FASTER with 512kb cache then with a bigger 1024kb cache.
