The quad core needs a dedicated gpu in the system to function, the dual core has an integrated gpu.

Also the dual core has unlocked multipliers in order to achieve higher overclocks, but that feature is useless your pursuing benchmark records using a phase changer or liquid nitorgen. And the pricing on that chip makes it the antithesis to cheap dual core computing.

In essence: pick the i5 750 over the i5 655k
