Just for your info guys.

AMD Athlon II X2 250 is now widely available in the market for 5k-5.5k. Stop recommending 7750BE for overclockers now. X2 250 is based on 45nm fabrication and runs much cooler and faster than 7750BE. Thanks to the 45nm fab, it overclocks much more (stock speed at 3GHz) and there are reports that with additional cooling, it can reach 4GHz easily.

yes. I can. With the difference less than 2k and taking into account huge amount of oc potential for 250, I do think that it can be taken as a replacement for 7750BE.

2k is not much of a difference when you buy a 10k+ CPU, but it's a huge amount when you buy a budget CPU. What would make more sense is to increase the budget a bit and get a low end Phenom.

My last 3 desktops have been AMD CPU's with ATI chipsets but there's no way AMD dual cores are worth 5.5k when you can get a C2D E7400 for that much with better stock and OC performance.

Athlon64 3000+ & MSI RS480M2IL --> X2 4000+ & Asus M2A-VM --> X2 5600+ & Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H.
Each of these systems has been great for the price but will never outperform a C2D in OC'ed or otherwise.

Dude. X2 250 is much much faster than C2D E7400 and with some or no overclocking it beats E8400 in gaming.

and after looking at the fps that this is giving and compared to E8xxx series, I do think that it is a damn wise buy to get this one for 2k more.

I checked the reviews and it falls somewhere in between E7400 and E8400 so it is better VFM than the C2D's, but the point remains that all these dual core CPU's get owned by a Phenom which costs just a bit more and would be a much better buy in the long run.

I have to agree with drvarunmehta in that the price difference should be viewed comparatively. 1.5k is 50% more than 1k although the difference is only 0.5k. The 250 costs over 50% more than the 7750, so they cannot be fairly compared. In fact, I got the 7750 for 3.4k last month.

also for low budget really going for amd is more wise than buying e5200 based intel config, amd mobos are cheaper and have better oboard gfx, easily gives a normal user better option without a separate gfx card.

Phenom II X2 550 BE is just a bit more costly than Athlon II X2 250 but has much better stats. The cost difference is not any huge though. Definitely anyone going for the latter should take a look on the phenom.

Yeah but overclockers are better off with E5200.

AMD is still for non OCers.

wat the cost of PII 550?
AII 250 5.5k
PII 720 7.2k
then where wud PII 550 fall?

AII shud ve priced at 4~4.5k to be called perfect vfm.

why nobody is recomending e5200? its just 3.5k and can oc with cheap mobos like G31 for 2.5k.
performance per clock is more or less same as 7750 BE. i seriously wished the AII will be priced at 4k when released.
even now i feel E5200 better than AII 250, cant say bout PII 550, which have slight better performance per clock.

IGP is only good for 780/790 mobos which wont fall on budget category.
E5200: 3.5k
Asus p5q VLCM: 2.5k
palit 9500: 3.2k
9.2k


E7750: 3.5k
780g biostar: 4.5k
8k

AII 250: 5.5k
780g biostar: 4.5k
10k
comparing first and third, i wud say 1st is lot better. both E5200 and 250 oc to 3.8Ghz.

for low budget ocers: e5200 with G31
for mid ocer: 720 with a cheap 790GX
for high ocer: X4 940 or 955 BE with a good 790GX/FX
for enthusiastic ocer: i7 920 with feature rich X58

for low budget ocers why not a Athlon II x2 250 with a cheap 780G much better combo then E5200 with G31.
