He commented that the article erroneously states the i5 has Hyperthreading, which it does not. He never mentions the i3.
I read the article and it does in fact state that 3 times on the opening page. I also checked Intel's spec page and it is very clear that the i5 does not have Hyperthreading.
Don't bother reading the article on Hyperthreading. They mention in the opening page several times about hyperthreading on the i5 chip. i5 chips don't have hyperthreading; that's one of the big differences between i5 & i7.
"It seems that only the 550’s overclocking and unlocking ability separates these two."
Was this a typo (and you meant 6950) or did you not read the conclusion of the link you posted. I understand the unlocking ability, but OC'ing, really?
"What we can also say with absolute certainty is that the Pentium G6950 is a better overclocker than the Phenom II X2 550."
(It's not clear to me how this conclusion could be misinterpreted)
Yes I read it. Did you?

Did you read the post above mine?
Your point is?
Uh yeah the Core i3 processors do feature Hyper-Threading!

Hey Ciantic, I don't know if any of those guys are the missing link, but I did see someone kind of cave-manish in one of their videos.
Oh, and that cooler review is at:

Hey!
Did you forgot the link to the Tom's Hardware thing?
