If I was on a budget which one would be better . The AMD AM2 4800 + or the E6600 core 2 Duo because they both run at the same speed and are about the same price ?
Just because they are clocked the same doesn't mean ****. The X2 4800+ is clocked at 2.5GHz, is it not?
Â
Core 2 Duos have a more efficient architecture and can do more work per clock cycle than the Athlon X2s, thus the E6600 @ 2.4GHz performs similarly to an X2 6000+ @ 3.0GHz.
Â
The X2 4800+ performs something like the E6300/E6320.Â
If they are same price, the Intel is more efficient and can certainly do more work. AMD is usually a bit cheaper and often more bang for the buck but in this case the intel should be better.
In that case, I would certainly go with the 4800+ because it's a good processor at a great price. If money isn't an issue and the comparison was the 6000+ and E6600 I would go with the 6600 since it is a better processor overall.
last time I had a look the AMD X2 5600+ was cheaper than an E6600 so don't know what you're on about with the prices. Also AM2 motherboards are cheaper than LGA775
Just think about this . I E6600 with super liquid cooling rung at a easy pace of about 3.9 ghz . Not to push your Cpu to hard today as you just want to play a few games. And how about 2xgtx 8800 ?4 gigs of ram
