Hello ? Today, I saw "TechSpot's PC Buying Guide" and I got a question regarding processors. I knew that AMD Phenom II X4 Processor is cheap and Core i7 is expensive. But I really want to know which processor is faster, specifically: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz Intel Core i7-975 Extreme Edition Bloomfield 3.33GHz Can anyone arrange those 4 processors ? (Fastest is "1", Slow "4") From neowing
1)i7 975 2)i7 950 3)x4 965 4)x4 940 if you want to build a gaming rig then you should consider getting a more powerful video card, not a more powerful CPU. A core i5 or x4 965 should be more than enough for a good gaming rig.
Take a look at http://www.techspot.com/review/195-mainstream-quadcore-cpu-performance/ for a great comparison. Quick note - i would look at the i7-860 instead of the 900 line. Different socket motherboards that are cheaper and should meet all of your needs. Check out the recently updated PC buying guide as well: http://www.techspot.com/guides/buying/ Gives you some excellent analysis on what to spend your money on.
