If you're assuming i7 to be better than i5, you're wrong. Single core clock matters. Some games are barely playable with a low clock i7, but work perfectly on a high clocked i5.

yeah, because games are all that matters to people on HN. Besides, a i7 4790K runs at 4Ghz and up to 4.4Ghz (Single Core Turbo) natively while having 4 full cores, show me a i5 that can beat it in games (non overclocked of course). Sure some lower clocked i7 might be slower than some i5s in certain tasks, but those are obviously still better at multi threaded tasks than an i5.
