Since it's Intel Core 2 Duo then you should get AMD Phenom II X3 :)

Well yeah but Intel Core 2 Duo has 2 cores and Amd Phenom has 3 cores and it's more powerful.

Amd Phenom 8,4 ghz in total

Core 2 Duo 5,6 ghz in total

Do you understand now? :D

Higher ghz is faster.

they are the same ghz. do you need glasses?

enriK233

JEEZ OMFG that 2,8 ghz is speed of ONE core

.... So calculate omfg...

Intel Core 2 duo has one core speed of 2,8ghz 2,8x2 = 5,4ghz

Amd phenom 2,8ghz 2,8x3= 8,4ghz

DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW!?!?!? ....

Yea panda...it doesent work that way....2.8ghz is across all cores.........that doesent make it 8.4ghz...its still 2.8.

Dont be so cheap, borrow 30 bucks more from anyone and get the quad core AMD 940.

pureskull123

if you ask more power : E7500 : If you say which is stronger then Phenom II X3 3.6/3,7Ghz OC : Not OC : E7500 in most of game
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2009/05/11/overclocking-amd-s-phenom-ii-x3-720-be/6
But id go with Phenom II X3 720 since you can't get a X4 920 / 940

phenom x3 is better

I think you better re-read panDa's post carefully, before you go off insulting enrik233 for being stupid. If you look at panDa's second post, you can see that he was multiplying the clock speed by the number of cores, which is he how he got a clock speed of 5.6GHz (2.8Ghz x 2 = 5.6GHz) for the E7400 (and 8.4GHz for the Phenom X3 720). And that is just totally wrong. And no he was not comparing 3 cores at 2.8GHz versus 2 cores at 2.8GHz, he was multiplying them.

(And that last part of your sentence. Not on)

you might shock the cpu just taking it out of the package.

All right, even the OP has to admit that this was funny :D. Anyway, you guys, panda and this one, are really incredibly wrong. First, if you have a quad core that works on 1.5GHz, it would be 6.0, right? But if you use a single core that works on 3.0, it will be much faster in single threaded applications. So basically, if you use only single threaded apps you will be better off with a higher clocked single core (that was only an example, I know that nowdays singles are not even an option and that there are quads up to 3.3) And you cannot compare just clocks. You need to compare the onboard memory controler, such as AMD's HyperTransport or Intel's QuickPathInterconnect, which are very close in bandwidth. Then goes superior architecture, which CPU can run at lower voltage and less heat and so on. So you guys are actually newbies in this. Sorry :(

PS: As for your question, I think that the 720 should compare to (since Intel does not produce triples) to either Q9300 or E8x00. So, I do not know why are you even putting the E7xxx into consideration. Do not just watch what price are components, because that way you are always going to be wrong. That is because Intel has much higher pricing than AMD. And it is not because AMD CPU's are worser or because AMD is generous and nice, it is because AMD is having a hard time recovering from the Core2 era, where Intel literaly destroyed them... Now they are about even, although chips such as EX975, 960, 950, 940 and QX9750 remain untouchable (for that price segment, even though AMD's Phenom II 955 is a nice competitor to I7's), AMD is now back in the game and is a worthy second largest chipmaker in the world. Chose whatever you want.

Stop talking. It doesn't work like that.

hey this is one crazy thread with guys multiplying clock speeds with number of cores.enrikk, there are currently almost no applications optimised for tricore.either go with a two cores or four cores.two cored processors for today or four cored processors for the future.I also saw a benchmark test where core 2 duos (e800's) beating phenom x3's in most applications.so i think e700's should have more or less the same performance of phenom x3's

One thing that has been seriously overlooked in this comparison, is the amount of cache available. The Intel has 3MB L2 cache available, while the AMD has 6MB L3. Another thing you need to consider is how many programs are really going to utilize three cores.

You are actually crazy. Because Phenom X3 is slower than any Core2's, but the new Phenom ***II*** actually blow all Core2 Duo's into the water. So stop talking when you are uninformed and live in the stone age. I guess you haven't even heard of I7.

I can see where panda was coming from, multiplying the core speeds to get a total speed, but it doesn't work like that, but I can see where he was comnig from. I would reccommend the amd though, as the extra core could come in useful, or I would reccomend paying a bit more for a quad like a 940. :D

Lol Intel is faster clock for clock... When was that? In 2006 maybe? Jeez, you guys need to stop living in the past. AMD has thrown ore2 into the water now. It is I7 that is giving them trouble snow. Gosh I hate stupid and uninfromed people.

markop2003

He actually compared a brand new 720 with E7xxx series, so he is *I do not want to get a moderation*. That means that my 955 CPU, currently the AMD flagship, is actually only able to beat E7xx and lower in dual threaded apps. Wth???

That's right mate. Core2 is superior to Athlon in every way (except that it doesn't have an integrated memory controler), but saying that the oldish and "green" E7xxx series can outperform the PII flagship series clock for clock is ignorant and fanboy-like. I don't need any research from such uninformed people.
