The way things are going though - with Intel adding HT to their Kaby Lake Pentiums (the G4560) and unlocking their Kaby Lake i3 (the i3-7100) will we even need an "i5" (or AMD equivalent) in a year or so?
To quote from the Anandtech link:
"The G4560 has a list price of $64 (retails at $80) and runs at 3.5 GHz - that's a dual core Kaby Lake processor only 900 MHz off of the top Core i7 for less than one-fifth of the price".
Well you can throw any duel core cpu in the trash, ever look what is running on the PC? You need more than 2 cores on a PC in today's world.

So the links above are all wrong and we had better all buy Qualcomm cpus? And AMD and Intel are ripping people off by selling cpus with no more than 2 cores?

I agree, anything under 8 cores though should be thrown in the garbage, because it is garbage. Also anything under a 1080ti is garbage to and should be thrown in the garbage.
