One of you guys have to help me figure this out. I've been looking at this for weeks now, but I can't find any answers.
Ok, so there's this processor: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4555102&csid=ITD&body=MAIN
How is it possible that this $100 socket 775 outperforms modern $1,000 core i7 socket 1366's?

I'm aware that the 1st link I've provided does not include any fan or heatsink. But there's no way that could add another $900 to the price.
I'm thinking that the Futuremark pages that I'm visiting simply have a typo because I also noticed that they're calling the $100 processor a core i7, which is impossible if it's not a socket 1366, right?
Basically, I'm confused about what that processor really is. I can see that it's not a core i7, so why do all the Futuremark gaming benchmark pages have it listed as one? I mean, isn't that processor really old now?
Well, I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff, maybe someone can shed some light on the situation.
