While I appreciate what you have tried to do with this article I think it is very misleading. The reason I think so is because while the i5-2500K + HD 6870 is less efficient in power usage it is highly more effiecient in terms of processing power. If you were to run some benchmarks for the computers...

I say just wait for this to be developed into mainstream products.

and maybe you can get a rebate by sending in all of your useless hdds to be recycled.
