AMD or Intel

Ummm, okay.

Definately. There's news that AMD's lowest dual-core CPU, the X2 3600+ will cost about $139 to $159. Intel's lowest-bin Core 2 Duo will cost $183 and their lowest-bin Netburst based Pentium D will cost $93. So even with the upcoming budget dual-core, Intel still beats AMD out in terms of price and performance. Sure, the Pentium D 805 sucks when stock, but overclock that baby and watch it fly, for only $93!

True that. The Core 2 Duos perform so much for so little. 183 bucks is such a good price for something that performs so well.

Yup, and you can probably overclock it to 3.0Ghz or so. Stock is about 1.83Ghz for the lowest-bin Core 2 Duo.

I'm still surprised that people think that AMD is still better for gaming

 

[JP198780]

[ownage]

Once July 27, 2006 comes around, Intel will be the new King of Processors.
