^^^Not under 8k but under 5k..actually 4-4.5k yes......remember Athlon II X2 250 was at 79$, and now Athlon II X3 cheapest is 76$, so expect that price range....

rite now....INTEL only wins with the high end (60+ budget) range...rest is AMD...

 

[topgear]

Yup, to tell it more clear way if you got budget of around 11K and up get intel.
Anything less get AMD with eyes closed and you will be in the wonderland if you have budget of around 5-6K for a multicore cpu

 

[comp@ddict]

But any idea when these proccs will hit indian shores and when is the Phenom II X6 slated for release?

 

[topgear]

^^ No buddy

i7 is good but the price is high. As there are also other good news that asus release PCI version of USB 3.

 

[topgear]

Yup, but core i7 performs best also

 

[comp@ddict]

yea right now only Core i5 i750 from INTEL makes any sense, especially under 60k.

What the heck is is i3. Never heard of it. Which socket is this. How, when, where...????

 

[desiibond]

core i3 is budget dual core LGA1156 offering by Intel. These will be replacing the E7xxx and the dual core core i5's will be replacing E8xxx

 

[asingh]

The i3 socket will differ from the i5 socket.

Over all how many Intel sockets do we have now, barring the LGA775...?

Erm... According to desii's post, the i3 has LGA1156 socket, which is the same as i5, isn't it?

 

[asingh]

^^ Okay just checked it out. Intel is really making a mess of it. So damn confusing.

Socket CPU
1366 i7/i9
1155 i5
1156 i3/i5/i7

Why did they repeat the names for some of the CPUs. Just give them other names. Groaan...!

 

[Krow]

Intel is .

 

[desiibond]

Correction. core i3 works on mPGA-989. whatever this is, clearly is bullshit.

 

[comp@ddict]

is it me or the prices for a dual core seem too much...wotn four core athlon II X4 be faster in real world applications than a dual core even with hyper threading???

Do not know what the heck Intel is doing. Releasing sockets like a brand releases soaps.

I like the way AMD deals with the AM3+ line of sockets. They are upward/backward compatible. For each socket we will have a new chipset. And I can bet you some will be DDR3 dual - channel and some will be DDR3 tri - channel, as they did with the p55/x58.

And why the heck name them the same (and NO I do not like to remember code names -- Penryn/Wolfdale/Clarkdale etc to differentiate). Two i5's different sockets. Heck...! What type of standardization is this...!
