AMD Athlon II X4 or Phenom II X2

[bhushan2k]

@pratik,
don't know the real cost..saw in hardware price sheet/price update in this buying section only..so said..even m not believing on it as other phenom quad are above 6k..but if u can find it then it would be a real sweet deal..i still suggest u to see if u can manage 1.5k more..get 955 BE..worth it..benchmarks have proven..if not, then go for athlon quad core..it's good too in that budget..

that phenom x4 840 doesn't have l3 cache. So can we unlock cache of 840

Processor's with more cores will always make sense.
Also your usage is mainly for auto cad and playing hd movies... and not that much into gaming.

In my knowledge, Athlon ii X4 635 will satisfy you.
Go for it.

Hey guys, finally I’ve got reasonable quote for Phenom II X4 840 (5.1K)

Box says it’s a deneb edition
AMD Phenom II X4 840
Edition Deneb
3.2 GHz
4x512 KB L2 Cache

Is it really worth to invest extra 600 bucks for this proceesor over 635 ?

 

[bhushan2k]

hmmm..it's nothing but athlon..even i didn't know about that proccy..phenom without cache..don't take it..i think it's complete ZOL ZAAL wala proccy..lol..can't u wait and save money to get 955 BE?? If u have no option at all then get athlon 635 as others suggested..it's good..decision is urs..

100Mhz increase & 0.6k more? no. search for the same @ 4.8k or get 635 @ 4.5k & overclock it past 840's speed.

also note its a phenom II X4 over Athlon , I am not considering it for Mhz increase.

ok...why do you think 840 is better than 635, even though 840 lacks L3cache and has mere 300mhz bump...

go for 635
you can spend the rest 1k on something else

@baba, thanks for pointing. i was thinking that 840's clock speed was 100Mhz more than 635. BTW, isn't the Rs.600 extra over AII 635 worth it? considering you are getting a really fast Athlon II X4.

well if he is getting 635 @ 4.5 k and 840 @ 5.1 k , then its ok to go for 840

but in delhi, the prices of 635 has gone as low as 4.1k..and even 4k in some places
so thats why i was against it
