AMD x2 vs Intel Core 2 duo. Both running the same MHZ.

Is there really any point to comparing them at the same clock frequency? If the same-clocked Intel performs better but is a lot more expensive, that doesn't make it the better choice.

Well the thing is, you can't really compare them clock speeds to clock speeds. Obviously the intel would win, but that's not how theyre priced. A Core 2 Duo e6320 costs $165 (1.86GHz) where the closest AMD clock on an X2 is the AMD X2 3600+ at $62 (1.9GHz).

Obviously, the Core 2 Duo is faster at the same clocks, but costs way more. The battles of theprices seem to be inAMD's favor right now,where an AMD X2 6000+ costs $170 (3.0GHz). ($5 more than the e6320)

I can buy it for 169.90 Euros & E6750 is 188.90 Euros. @ stock speeds E6750 performs alot better than X2 6000+

(2.66GHz vs 3.00GHz)

At the same clock speed intel is better.

At the same price AMD is better.

That's exactly what I was saying... the Core 2 Duo performs better than an AMD X2 at the same speed.

Not true...These procs are "equal performers."

Intel

AMD

Just for reference...here is a comparison between the e6300 which is STILL more expensive than the 5600+

I can't because AMD processors are a much better deal. To perform equally the price would not match, to be priced equally the performance would not match. It's simply impossible...but that's kind of the whole point of this discussion is that the chips are very different and it's hard to pick a "winner."

If you're going for a high end CPU (such as quad core or 3GHz dual core), go Intel. If you're going for a more a mainstream CPU, go AMD.

It all depends on how much you're willing to spend.

i understand what your saying but im sayign that intel has better performance at lower prices.

But that isn't true. The e6600 is about .05% to 1% faster than the X2 5600+. The e6600 costs nearly $100 more than the 5600.

The e6300 costs about $15 MORE than the X2 5600+ and look at the benchmarks...

nice benchmarks btw, but ill take the price point at 120 pounds. for that you get an AMD X2 5600 on the intel you get a core 2 duo E6750.

I like AMD better, purely because its cheaper and I would rather not pay extra £££ just to get a few more fps in a game.

Not true again...

E6750 = $212

5600 = $150

The E6750 performs about 5% better than the 5600+ and yet it clearly costs 40% more. In order for your theory to be true the E6750 would have to outperform the 5600+ by 41% before you're getting a "better deal."

well i dont know whats happening in the US but those are british prices which i follow seeing that i live in the UK. dont get me wrong here im not trying to say AMD's suck but imo the C2D are a better choice of cpu at any price range.
