AMD 4200+ Like what i have ^.^
AMD is now also coming out with 3.0Ghz processors... The AMD 6000+ and then there coming out with a
"4x4"... AMD FX-74 Quad Core... i will post linkage for it later... I'm also Sure that its AM2.

Evil_styx lets see some 3Dmark06 scores
Yea but the intel quad beats the amd in almost every test (even the top FX-74), AMD keep going on about 'native' quad core and say the intel (QX6700) is just two dual's glued together, be that as it may the intel still wins!diglow~Flow wrote:

The three AMD quad cores apparantly beat the x6800 though (you would expect that) but in some test's the x6800 beats the FX-70.
I've no idea what the prices are for the 3 AMD quad's however if they are comparible to the C2D E6700 in price they may be worth looking at, I wouldnt mind spending a bit more for a FX-72 over a C2D E6700. But for ultimate performance intel are top gun for the next 6 months.

C2D e6300 no doubt about it
I have a e6600 and it kicks the shit out of my old am2 x2 4400

Intel = Lamborghini
AMD = Dump Truck
Lambo's max speed is 130 mph (hypothetically)
Dump trucks max speed is 55mph
Put 5 tons on the lambo and the max speed drastically drops to 2mph
The Dump truck with 5 tons still does 55mph.

15 more years! 15 more years!
From those, the Intel all the way. Check this out though: http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/amd … fx_74_4x4/paranoid101 wrote:
which would you get?
Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - OEM (CP-135-IN) £129.19
or
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ 2.20GHz (Socket AM2) - Retail (CP-168-AM) £132.72
As you can see they are both about the same price, I am just stuck on which new CPU to go with.
Unfortunately, the Kentsfield still kicks its ass (by small margins).
paranoid101 in case you haven't noticed, almost all of the knowledgeable tech guys on these forums have gone with the Intel. Many of the people who have said AMD are basing it on old components/comparing AMD to P4's or basing it on AMD teaming up with ATI and that's cool except for the fact that they haven't realized a combo yet. Go for the Intel and you won't be disappointed. They are reasonably equal in performance but as you go up the Intel line (>/= E6600) the Intel's start blowing away amd.
If I were you I would try to get a little more cash and go for the E6400 or even a E6600
E6400- $218.00

E6600 is a good bang for the buck actually
About the 4 cores alternative by AMD, I dont agree with their solution, who will but a 2 sockets-mobo ($$$) to be able to run 3 cpu (FX-70, 72 and 74). In about a few months, AMD will find the solution to integrate 4 cores on a single piece and the 2 sockets mobo will only be usefull for those who want 8 cores. And I think that the mobo wil only be able to run cpu totally identical, and created to run in pair (not like sli or crossfire). AMD will probably go back to socket AM2 for their quad cores, and let the socket F (those used on the new 2 sockets-mobo) for expensive "dual quad cores" system...
If you want a quad core system, either buy Kentsfield or wait for AMD to release something good in performance, that doesnt drain twice the power of a single cpu and that doesnt cost you 10000~ $

any conroe model for me, i have a e6600, i love it. But hey if amd released something better in 2 years id get that then. Best bang for you buck. ....fanboys.... amd built for gaming lol
lmfao this thread made me laugh so much
"amd is built for gaming"
"amd ftw intel sux"
"amd has higher clock speed"
"best bang for buck"
LOLZ0RZ
as of now, intel (conroe) beats all..

AMD FTW IDK IF INTEL is better iam getting an FX-74 which pwnes all the intel processers
Intel Blows AMD out of water so badly. Intel will perfrom on any game better than AMD.

Proof that denial will make you go blind. The truth of the matter is intel is pulling away even in the quad core market.leetkyle wrote:

Do some research on toms hardware (www.tomshardware.com) anandtech, and any other site that you can think of. then get the fastest processor for your budget. If Money is no object blow the wad and get the fastest processor available. Currently thats The Intel. Last Year it was AMD, Next year who knows. Don't listen to fanboys on either side. (including me when I say INTEL all they way Woot) Do some solid research and decide for yourself.

To tell you the truth... the guy with a P4 1.8GHz w/ 512MBs of ram and a 6600 AGP is still going to kick your ass in BF2/2142.
Leeykyle really doesn't know anything about processors does he now. I too use the Core 2 Extreme and from the benchmarks still is the best gaming processor above even the Core 2 Quad.Kmarion wrote:

If you want something that will make you a better gamer, go for peripherals. Bigger Monitor, Better Mouse. That kind of stuff. I know the monitor helped me tremendously. Now I only get owned some of the time.
