AMD was the first to introduce processors that are based on the x64 instruction sets. Now that 64bit computing has become mainstream, both intel and AMD are working hard to provide their consumers with the best CPU available. What do i think about AMD? I believe that comparing both AMD and Intel, Intel is like your branded goods while AMD is like your normal goods. Intel sells things more expensive than AMD that is a fact, but AMD can certainly provide some extra features on their chips as well.
Introducing the AMD Athlon II x4-635 this 2.9GHz processor is actually a quad core processor that can perform as well as Intel’s corei5 750 cpu at half the price! Besides that, the possibilities of unlocking this processor into a more powerful phenom ii series just by using amd chipsets of 710 and above and wada! You can a phenom ii x4 at the price of an Athlon II with that L3 cache unlocked!
No matter what. I have to insist that you get this processor if you really want value.
Forget about the brands. A computer is just a box that contains hardware. You want something cheap and powerful. Go AMD.
