They both have HT. i7 9xx supports triple channel whereas i7 8xx supports only dual channel.

Core I7 870 is inferior since it has no triple channel memory. They have one thing in common though. Both are overpriced garbage.

Core i7 870 only supports dual channel however 1366 (such as i7 920) does support triple-channel memory ;)

Well Intel does beat AMD in some tests but not all of them. Also don't try to make Slig give sympathy to Intel because he is an AMD fan for life lol. And actually he's been ROFL lately over Intel and Nvidia both lol. He really is quite funny though and He always makes me laugh :lol: :lol: (in a good way)
