Rivals of CPU processors !

As we know There are two big companies in market which are rivals of each other from years in manufacturing and marketing of CPU processor !!

Any ways let me introduce both : Intel & AMD

Lets compare some latest released processors and get known which is better to buy as per our money budget

                                                              !  AMD PROCESSORS  ! 

• AMD introduces  8400 Series ( heavy range of processors with 6 cores ) which costs about 

  Six-Core  AMD Opteron 8425 HE                                                                    $1,514
  Six-Core  AMD Opteron 8431                                                                         $2,149
  Six-Core  AMD Opteron 8435                                                                         $2,649
  Six-Core AMD Opteron 8439                                                                          $2,649

                Pricing which is listed above are as per AMD.com own listing !
            

• so here as we have seen AMD introduce some new Athlon II processors , which are basically same X2 , X3 , X4 as before simply with 100 hz speed bump ,while cutting down the prices of  slower Athlon II models 
• Introduced , The Phenom II X3 720 OEM(No CPU Cooler and 30 days warranty) is now prices $ 100  instead of   $ 120 ! 
• So overall the thing whats going on is that that AMD almost introduce high ranged processors so that if  you want to buy any new faster processor about Dual Core you can get that cheaper than before  ! 

                                                    !  INTEL PROCESSORS  !                 
        

             Intel released the Core i5-760 2.8GHz at the $210 price point and also lowered the price of the        LGA1156 Core i7 870 down to $290, the same price as the slower Core i7 860, suggesting that it might just replace the two older and slower models by the newer and faster ones eventually.


For Extreme Use  but not for workstations and servers !

    Intel® Xeon® processor 7500 series, 8, 6 and 4 core versions



X7560 (24M L3 cache, 8 Cores, 16 Threads, 2.26 GHz (130W) 6.40 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $3,692 
X7550 (18M L3 cache, 8 Cores, 16 Threads, 2.00 GHz (130W) 6.40 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $2,729
E7540 (18M L3 cache, 6 Cores, 12 Threads, 2.00 GHz (105W) 6.40 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $1,980 
E7530 (18M L3 cache, 6 Cores, 12 Threads, 1.86 GHz (105W) 5.86 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $1,391 
E7520 (18M L3 cache, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 1.86 GHz (95W) 4.80 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $856 
L7555 (24M L3 cache, 8 Cores, 16 Threads, 1.86 GHz (95W) 5.86 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $3,157 
L7545 (18M L3 cache, 6 Cores, 12 Threads, 1.86 GHz (95W) 5.86 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $2,087 
X7542 (18M L3 cache, 6 Cores, 6 Threads, 2.66 GHz (130W) 5.86 GT/sec Intel® QPI 45nm) $1,980




 So Both are good in their ways but still intel is # 1 company in processors !! but AMD is not so far ! 


        Personal advice to readers if you have tight budget then go with AMD so that you will get same thing which would get from intel  ! AMD is cheaper than Intel !   ~ Ax102 

Difference between Core i5 and Core i7 processor

Now this is the world of speed! And you know Intel has launched it's i3, i5, and i7 processor before some time. Here I will talk about main difference between Intel's i5 and i7 processor.

The i7 uses hyperthreading on it`s die. So each die has 2 cores instead of one. Giving it 8 cores total. The i5 does not have it making it just a newer quad core. So that is why the i7 costs so much more then the i5. But in most real world apps you wouldnt notice the difference with the 8 cores because most programs dont know how to take advantage of them yet.

All Core i5 600 series products use the LGA1156 socket and will fit into any motherboard with that socket. While the Core i5 700 series processors are LGA1156 processors and will fit into any motherboard with that socket, it should be remembered that these processors have no integrated graphics processor. 

In the future, the Core i5 line will remain on the LGA1156 socket, although Intel could add some variants of LGA1156. Core i7 will be split between LGA1156 and LGA1366.

Intel Core i5 processor features:

* Mid range processor.

* 2-4 Cores

* 4 Threads

* Turbo Mode (turn off core if not used)

* Hyper-Threading (efficient use of processor resources)

* 3-8 MB Catche

* 32-45 nm Silicon (less heat and energy)

Intel Core i7 processor features:

* High end processor.

* 4 Cores

* 8 Threads

* Turbo Mode (turn off core if not used)

* Hyper-Threading (efficient use of processor resources)

* 4-8 MB Catche

* 32-45 nm Silicon (less heat and energy)

new Core i5 processors are far more evolutionary than revolutionary. While these new processors are actually quite a bit different from the Core i7 processors currently available, many features, such as the enhanced turbo boost and dual-channel memory, are shared with new Core i7 processors.
