Re: Processor Comparrison
said by jouno53  :Because of the price similarity, what would be better to get. An AMD Athlon 64 X2 (65W) 4200+ (2.2 Ghz), or an Intel Core 2 Duo 4300 (1.8Ghz)? The E4300 is the more attractive processor, in my opinion. It depends what applications you plan on running because the E4300 performs better in some cases and not as good in others. But overall, I'd give the nod to the E4300. It's likely to be a better overclocker as well, if you're into that hobby.

said by jouno53 :Also, I noticed on Newegg that there are a lot of "in-between" Core 2 duo processors. Like the 4400, the 6320 etc. What are those supposed to be? Core clock is not the only factor in determining performance. FSB and L2 cache also play a major role.
The E4300 is a 1.8 GHz processor with an 800 MHz FSB and 2 MB of L2. The E4400 simply raises the core clock to 2.0 GHz.
E6300 is 1.86 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB and 2 MB. E6320 bumps up the L2 cache to 4 MB. |
