Impressive graphics performance, but the CPU bit is still quite a bit behind. Think I'll stick with my i5 2500 for a while still.
I'm not sure that AMD released Kaveri with the intention of having it compete against a Core i5.
True, though I'm looking at it in terms of what my Sandy Bridge i5 is worth second hand vs what I can buy from AMD with that money.

Is the i5 holding back the rest of your machine these days?

Don't think so, nope. Next upgrade will be a GPU in a hundred year's time.
