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® Core™ i7 processor Extreme Edition 
Desktop (LGA 1366/1156)  i7-980X (12M L3 cache, 6 Cores, 12 Threads, 3.33 GHz 6.40 GT/sec Intel® QPI 32nm) $999  


Specially for servers and workstations 
    Quad Core Intel® Itanium® processor


9350 (24M L3 cache, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 1.73 GHz (185W)  $3,838 
9340 (20M L3 cache, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 1.60 GHz (185W)  $2,059 
9330 (20M L3 cache, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 1.46 GHz (155W)  $2,059
9320 (16M L3 cache, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 1.33 GHz (155W)  $1,614 
9310 (10M L3 cache, 2 Cores, 4 Threads, 1.60 GHz (130W)  $946  


    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
