Noticeable difference between i7 920 and 940 processors in real-life use? [closed]

I'm just looking for a simple answer, such as "it's WAY quicker, GET IT" or "don't bother, not worth the extra cash".

"""don't bother, not worth the extra cash"".

If coming off of anything less than two years old, you will notice that when you start up and run things, it will generally be quicker. Anything older than two years and everything will be noticeably quicker.

Between the 920 - 940, I cannot say that you will see any big performance gains. I use many CPUs on a daily basis, and for .5GHZ (within same generations) you really cannot tell many differences"

What software do you use that would benefit in the $300 price difference? If you are a speed junkie/bleeding edge you would of just jumped and got the 975 so I can't see the large price jump being worth it. That $300 could go to a nice SSD which would be a way better investment IMO.
