I heard from a friend that pentiums are getting better for gaming purposes. I myself am an AMD guy because I like the efficiency but I want to know if the upcoming pentiums are gonna be as good as AMD for gaming.
Energy Efficiency...AMD has recently released their which are completely energy efficient.. AMD Unleashes New Desktop Processors - Tech News - Playfuls.com - Science & Technology Intel Core 2 Duo's are the latest processors by Intel and they are beating AMD very badly in Desktop/Gaming Market bcoz they are faster than AMD x2
are the intel core 2 duo's more expensive than an equally performing amd. Are they really worth the money?
I am not completely sure but I think C2D's are cheaper than new AM2's :unsure: But they have new technology in it... Which uses less power which saves money in the long run..
I didnt think they made Pentiums anymore. Im sure I rememeber reading something somewhere on how AMD are going to catch up, if not outdo the Intels offerings. I cant remember why the article concluded this or where I read it. I just go with what I can afford! Spec comes second unfortunately!
The Pentium family is being phased out as Intel is switching over to Core 2 processors. As far as the Pentium family goes, AMD beats the snot out of it. As far as Core 2 goes, it beats out AMD (and therefore the Pentium). If you're buying now, or looking to buy, Intel has better performance per dollar than AMD...and I type this with an Athlon64-based system. Socket AM2 is a jump to DDR2 support, nothing more. Rest assured, they'll have something to best Intel with eventually, but right now, if you want the best processor, a Core 2 Duo is the champ.
