Which dual core processor is better AMD 64 X2 6000 or Intel Core 2 Duo E6700

[hatodishu]

I'm planning to purchase the dual core processor very soon. Has anybody practice or buy these processors for their system. So please tell me that what processor I should choose in order to give a better performance in over clocking as well? Some of my friends suggest me to buy AMD some friends say to have Intel processor. Since it have very nice performance in terms of over clocking as well as durability. So anyone have any suggestion then please reply me on this post.

AMD has been taking a thrashing recently; when Intel launched its Core 2 microprocessor unit it was priced as well as execute insistently, too violently for AMD to sufficiently contend with at the time. AMD's marketing even go into decrease as reviewers weren't still seeded for speed bash to the Athlon 64 X2 line, the X2 5400+ and FX-62 were the best ever Socket-AM2 part AMD send out for assessment and they were the primary ones we'd ever review additionally. Sometimes no PR is good PR, and an article about the begin of the Athlon 64 X2 5500+, 5600+ or 6000+ simply announce that Core 2 is once yet again on top would only effort in Intel's favor.

The most costly Athlon 64 X2, actually the one being commence recently, is priced at underneath $500. Over clocking speed at 3.0GHz by means of a 1MB L2 cache for each core, the AMD 64 X2 6000+ isn't even the nearly all nice-looking part of AMD's lineup. Shave 250MHz off the 6000+ and you acquire the AMD 64 X2 5600+, priced at $356. Note that the X2 5600+ is on the whole a FX-62 in disguise, what used to be a $999 processor has been decreased to less than a third of its cost - isn’t struggle grand. Of course a price war isn't in AMD's best interest when it comes to making money, but it's the best AMD can do until its new micro- planning makes its introduce later this year.

I think that you must buy the Intel core 2 duo processor for the system because though it is good in terms of the processing of the system. Since the Intel core 2 duo E 6700 has the L2 cache speed of more than the 4 MB per core. In comparison with the AMD 64 X2 6000 processor it have only L2 cache speed of 2 MB per core speed. This is quite double than the previous then speed of the AMD. So I think that Intel will win the race in terms of the processing of L2 Cache.

If you are gaming maniac then I think you must the AMD processor because it has very over clocking speed. In comparison with the Intel core 2 duo processor, intel have just only 2.66 GHZ but the AMD athlon have the Over- Clocking speed of about more than 3.0 GHz. So in terms of gaming is concern this is very nice speed to run high quality games on the computer. So think that tyou buy the AMD 64 X2 6000 processor for the better gaming performance.
