  • AMD have amazing CPU names.Phenom or Athlon sound so much better than Core or Pentium.I will always go for AMD.

  • i7

  • whats better, an AMD Athlon II X3 or an AMD Phenom II X3? Both are around the same price and are 4th core unlockable, but which performs better?

  • what about 12x 4 core opteron :D ?

  • Love my x4 820. 3.4ghz stock cooling!

  • i always thought that AMD is better than Intel .. and it is .. :)

  • The X6's aren't that much better than the X4's, the Phenom II 975 is worth more than the 1090T or 1100T X6's.

    Also don't waste money on Intel i7's for gaming, i5's are more than capable (especially Sandy Bridge).

  • AMD is like the AK-47 . Cost not much but its fucking Strong !

  • rofl, compairing athlon x2 with phenom x3 is like a 10years old kid vs 14 xD

  • intel sucks!

  • @krystian1333 Actually O believe the athlon ii x2 is competing with celerons; x2 and x3 with pentiums and low end c2d and the phenom ii x2, with c2d; x3 with i3; x4 with low end i5; x4 with high end i5 and x6 with mid range i7

  • @JokeEmperor exactly that is my problem!

  • AMD and ATI is cool

  • @GameReaver13 looks kinda nice but 4 cores arent good for games? 2 or 3 cores much better (what i have heard)

  • @xismxist four core is actually just not fully utilized in gaming, Which you can say that is kinda wasted space.(not used)

    My opinion is that they are excellent for the gamers as it would mean less stress on the cpu therefore keeping the heat down(cooler CPU longer life). as for overclocking a 4+ core for playing games not really necessary.

    I have watched my four core phenom 9950 B.E. on an MSI 780 board with DDR2 and the cpu playing crysis never get above 30% usage with maxed out graphics

  • @xismxist quad core is actually just not fully utilized in gaming(my 9950 B.E.2.8ghz never breaks 25% playing crysis except when loading then it will hit 32-36% and that is not O.C.)(even tri core is a bit much in my opinion) that's all,but which if you are running a server or hard core video editing the four cores will significantly boost performance vs. a dual core or even a tri-core CPU. I don't know how often your serving but I would stick with a quad core on just the thought of that alone.

  • @juggernautxtr ok! ty, but i got a x3 phenom2 705e ;) energy effecient too, works good

  • at 0:20 who gives a sht cant w8 5 more mins lol

  • amd athlon x2 vs intel core 2 duo 100% intel win haha

  • @19atiq98 why don't you compare chip to chip answer Intel fan boy?

    the phenom x3 is the core 2 duo's answer moron.

    athlon x2 is celerons daddy

  • @juggernautxtr im looking for a good 45w cpu and i plays alot (most swat 4) and sometimes run a server. Would u recomend the x2 250e (2x1mb cache) or the x3 420e? (3x512)

  • @juggernautxtr

    Athlon Takes on Some C2D, Pentium, Celeron.. Phenom Takes on i3/5/7

  • well i have AMD Athlon II X2 240 1 gigs ram. but gta iv runs slow, lag and stuttering..

  • you know amd is just trying to have a revenge in intel :)

  • athlon ii x4 vs phenom x2 ... whats better?

  • @krystian1333 dualcores still perform better in games, but if you arent going to game much, get the Athlon II X4.

  • @krystian1333 athlon for its 4 cores, phenom for its L3 cache

    I would say Athlon 

  • x2 are fast

    x3 are faster

    x4 are a lot faster

    x6 are monsters

  • @seusgordo

    hahaha...hell yea...amd phenom II X6 all da way

  • @seusgordo And intel core i5 760 / 2500k make them all eat dusk

  • @ronanmtba i just lol'd at you and your i5.

  • @RiddleMeThis19

    Ok... When you reach 5ghz on air with a phenom or an athlon...

    I HAVE a phenom x4... running at 3.4Ghz and unfortunately it isn't what I expeted... A i5 750 2.66ghz is much better than my poor cpu :S

  • @ronanmtba Agreed, phenom series weren't that great, you tried going with a phenom TWO x4? they're much better.. 5 gigs on are? oO phenom 2 x4 940 BE reaches 6.3 at stable. try getting a phenom 2 and you'll find that your i5 is just.. ok. much like your phenom x4.

  • @RiddleMeThis19 My phenom is a phenom II... Phenom 550 @ X4, My m4a785td-v evo allows to unlok cpu cores... And I doubt you run 6.3 stable! People use to reach 7Ghz on liquid nitrogen.

  • @ronanmtba unlocked cores? nice lol. m4a785td-v... im asuming ASUS bored? seeing as how that's the same part number (almost) that im using, just without the -v) i dont run 6.3 lol. it's been proven that AMD was the first (in 2010) to unlock the speed of 6.3 GHz running stable for 2.1 hours. google/bing/yahoo it. it's all over :) intel however only got there's to 5.3 =( i only run mine (phenom 2 x4 975 BE) @ 4.42

  • @RiddleMeThis

    But try running your phenom @ 3.4Ghz vs i5 750 @2.66Ghz.. I bet the i5 will be faster! It´s just like athlon XP/ 64 vs pentium 4... An athlon @ 2.4Ghz is faster than a 3Ghz P4... Clock isn´t everything. While intel haves sse 4.2, neither sse4 AMD runs... it´s only sse4a...

    Well, I always say this... If U have cash, buy an intel, and you will have the fastest pc... If u don´t, buy and AMD... it´s slower but cheaper =)

  • @ronanmtba phenoms faster.. by a hair, but none the less faster is faster. AMD is cheaper yes, but im not paying high end for something thats not that much better compared to AMD.. phenom II x6 1100T 400$ intel's j unk i7 980X 1300$ gaming? AMD comes out better running in speeds & graphics. intel does build good "company" computers. gaming is AMD. slower? lol the 1100T is overclocked at 3.6 and runs that of an i7 980X at 4.5-4.9 maybe in they past they were slower, indeed they had a rough start.

  • @ronanmtba but it's looking kind of like Intel is having a strong run for there money, i say intel needs to straighten up and build a processor that can compete vs amd in gaming. not in business ;) lots of people in this world game now days. they should go back to there R & D and start doing a lil R & D

  • @ronanmtba

    The x6 1100T is faster than the i5. It's also faster than the i7 940 and Intel Xeon X5667. Go with the Phenom and still have enough money for the rest of your computer parts.

  • @seusgordo but X8 is OK too... :D

  • @seusgordo or, you can just unlock the X3

  • @seusgordo x8 are ultimate ?

  • @seusgordo x8 BEAST

  • lol bad editing hahahaha

  • omg i'm not beelieve i'm have phenom ll x4 3.0ghz :D sooooo faaast

  • AMD IS THE BEST!!!

  • AMD Fail!

    0:21 on the left AMD Athlon X2 - 15 mins remaining.

    On the right Phenom X3 - 20 minutes remaining. Only marketing numbers used than REAL AVERAGE proof. (probs like 21-22% faster, plus badly edited)

  • @AmH032uTuBe you fail... it says 10 min remaining, not 20 lol

  • @Anto395Productions - Oh yeah, lol :P

  • @AmH032uTuBe By the way, what's your opinion on Turion vs Phenom? I'd most likely say the Phenom performs much better, but i've met a lot of people preferring the Turion...

  • @Anto395Productions - I'm not that knowledgeable in AMD.

    But for sure in the consumer range the Phenom is the best (well I think)

    Ask arvutihull or DarkMx1000

  • @Anto395Productions The Turion is a mobile (laptop) CPU, while the Phenom is a Desktop CPU. All mobile components are designed to be less powerful to generate less heat, and to keep the battery alive longer inside a laptop. Even Athlons should outpace Turions.

    My brother has a laptop with a x2 Turion CPU. I'm getting a desktop in about a week or two with x3 Athlon CPU. I'll run some tests myself and see how fast both of them are.

  • AMD for games INTEL for all.

  • I have a AMD Athlon II (Quad) and its pretty fast

  • AMD why 240p? I thought it said phenom was 20 minutes and athlon 15, that made no sense.. Turned on 720p, just annoying though.

  • AMD Phenom X3 (slow) AMD Athlon X2 (slower)

    =D

  • MAn i bet my life on an AMD !

  • I have X3 Athlon, opened L3 6MB

  • @kendu10 you know you can unlock the disabled fourth core on any amd 3 core prosc cause they are manufactured as quads

  • @TheBloodyhacksaw My fourth core is not stabile.

  • i have x3 and it runs prettly nice :)

  • @djachilles1993 x3 are kinda outdated, i have a x4 620 and its amazingly fast.

  • @LiLAbdi97 Unless you're doing video encoding, image rendering, or a lot of mult-tasking, you won't need x4.

    x2 + 3/4gigs of memory would do the job for most average users (not heavy on gaming/design/cpu intensive apps).

  • athlon II cpus are great but lacking of l3cache while phenom II cpus are having l3 cache and thas it the advantage of phenom II in gaming

  • Athlon X2 250 <33

  • intel for processors but amd definitely for graphics cards

  • Most Athlon cost less power.

    But Phenom has a hidden chance to unlocking an extra Core?

    It depend on what level of fiddle you enjoy...

    At least we know QuadCore suck because so few software

    can use it's full potential.

    When i pay for example an extra 25% i never get 25% extra speed.

  • AMD X3 = quad core

  • what is better? AMD Athlon x2 or AMD Thurion?? please answer! thanks!:P

  • Turions are low voltage chips meant to be used in mobile devices like laptops. If you're building or buying a desktop it will be an Athlon or Phenom processor.

  • @ps3gamer305 Turion is for laptops... I don't know what's better... Maybe the Athlon. Maybe...

  • @mitsostsagka ok THNX!!!!

  • AND ATHLON ii x2 or inetl core 2 ..which 1 is better..??

  • Neither is really better...its just preference. I personally prefer AMD's products so...

  • The best thing what you can do now is an Amd phenom X4 965 The best piece for a low price

  • i think amd athlon ii x2 is way better choise

  • @silverstreaksthegr8s I think the Intel Core 2 Duo is a bit better but it's much more expensive too...

  • nice music

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • what amd processor would you guys recommend for laptops? not hardcore gaming laptops

  • how come it sayed the time remaining for the athlon was 15 and for the phenome it was 30?

  • It didn't.

  • Can i run alot of games

    ProcessorType: AMD Athlon X2

    ProcessorSpeed: 2.8 GHz

    OperatingSystem: Windows XP Professional

    Processor: Dual Core

    Primary Drive: 2 GB

    Hard Drive Capacity:  250 GB NVIDIA GeForce 6100 2×240pin DDR2 800

    AMD Athlon II X2 240 Regor 2.8GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Processor

  • Primary Drive 2gb? You mean Ram 2gb, right? Not the best system, but if you get a better graphic card, most games will run fine on med/high.

  • What card you think i should get that cheap but best

  • at the end of the day ur PC will be noob in a few years.. i spent over 900$ on a FX55 when it came out..

    nowerdays.. cheap GFX cards can run games that the best ones can..

  • Thanks alot that help

  • maybe need a graphics card upgrade...

  • Your pc will be able to run many new games on high if you update your graphics card with a nvidia geforce

    9600 gt 1gb

    only a 99 dollar upgrade that could manage the game crysis on high

  • 9600gt's are crap now...

    better off with a 4850 its about 10$ more

  • yes i agree

  • @0xXCSSXx0  i've got 7600gs do i fail ?

  • @Nuage13 its an old graphics card, im out of the loop so dont ask me for part tips, but if i remember right thats and PCI Express card, so theres allot of options for replacement.

  • @0xXCSSXx0 ok, i can buy a new graphic card but with mine, i can do awesome stuff.

  • @Nuage13 badly. u need to upgrade dude

  • @damnUTECH yes soon, i will bought my new hardware

  • get a VIDEO CARD to run GAMES.

  • better "only" in windows movie maker, too bad just for encode video and multi tasking programs... I have a x3 8450 and my brothers: amd 2x2,7 ghz its run better that my, on video-games

  • man i have athlon 64 x2 with msi motherboard can i use 250 volts psu

    to run it

  • no you need 220 volts

  • God, I really need a Phenom 2 X4 965... got a Phenom X3 8750 BE... its... alright, 2.4 ~ 3.0GHz, but... man, it feels like a dude who got his leg blown off in the CPU Wars of the 2000's.

  • lol! get the 955 its the best value.

  • can arma 2 run on amd phenom x3 8740?

    2.4Ghz

  • Can My laptop run games without lagging to much?

    Features:

    HP DV6 NOTEBOOK PC

    Windows Vista Home Premium x64 service pack 1

    Amd Athlon x2 dual core 2.10 ghz

    4.00 GB

    64 bit operating system

  • first off, you spelt your name wrong. it's supposed to be "you'reugly4chicjs"

    right. now ive got out the way, i need to ask you the important question: do you have a graphics card in your laptop? if not, which integrated one do you have?

    graphics cards are the most important investment when it comes to gaming.

  • AMD and ATI FTW!!!

    My Athlon XP 2500+ (older PC, don't use it anymore) is still working. And it is overclocked to 2,10GHz. Another one of my older comps has Sempron 3300+ OC'd to 2,40 GHz still working fine. AMD is totally stable IMO. Intel is better but AMD has a better Price/Performance ratio so ... AMD FTW!!! Same goes with AMD and nVidia.

  • my Athlon XP-M 2600 runs at 2600 mhz ocz platinum 2gb dual channel ram video 3850agp an Internet connection to run new games machine I forgot that I have a abit AN7

    athlon xp for ever haha

    I'm saving to buy phenom II

  • AMD for games , intel for work

  • Sempron for work

  • @xinoxion

    now with 1055T or 1090T this is not correct anymore!

  • @xinoxion

    nope... AMD FOR GAMES AND WORK .... intel is just for work

  • @xinoxion or Athlon for work, Phenom for games.

  • @xinoxion true intel cpu's blow amd cpu's completely away in video editing and so on but an half the price amd chip does sometimes perform the same in games compared to the 2 times as expensive intel ones

  • i just orderd this setup, it should run some games right?

    Silverstone 500 W

    Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3

    AMD 8650 2300 MHz

    2048 MB, DDR II, 800 MHz

    HD 4830 512MB

    Western Digital WD "Caviar® Black™" 640 GB, Serial ATAII, 32 MB

  • Yea, Crysis at lower res, maybe on high, call of duty very high.. the hd 4830 is also pretty overclockable..

  • It should. afterburn13 said it and I completly agree. Besides ... gaming is mostly about: amount of ram (maybe put another 2GB of RAM later), the GPU (is fine just remember to overclock it), and a CPU (upgrade to Phenom II X3 Black Edition overtime, much better CPU, but yours if fine too. unlock the fourth core and OC it). You'll be gaming ... FOR SURE! BTW good mobo choise. Gigabyte overclocks like crazy. Just OC'd my friends E7300 to 3,20GHz. (on a gigabyte mobo)

  • 4830 is a bit weak though, compared to the rest of your pc. maybe a bit more ram but everything else is very good! :D

  • yes all games but not on high

  • I like AMD too. But my friend said AMD suckSs :(

    AMD ROCK !.  and intel :D:D:D:D

  • um yes actualy i now dont have a favorite anymore

    I7 or Phenom II X4? ... or a damn X6 core processor

  • some of the x3's are actually quad cores with one core locked and u can unlock it in the bios.

  • AMD makes you life faster and better!

  • @SMGJohn

    Actually intel is better with performance but amd gives more bang for the buck

  • @SMGJohn THX MAN i was in a dillema which processor to choose you save many hours of my life XD

  • Olle ps I buy a pc and I have doubts that I see your clarification, a 4 pc ram and 320 GB hard drive, which for me? which is better?

    AMD Phenom X3 8450 AM2 2.1Ghz

    or

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.70 Ghz

    ? I love to chat and play times and photoshop and all that, ayudame uu

    the 2 nuclei may be more powerful to have more Ghz each core?

    or 3 is better?

    my language is Spanish, you do not understand

  • Cuanto dinero puedes gastar en el procesador? Si puedes gastar hasta $90, te recomendaría el Phenom 9500. Es mucho más rapido que los otros que mencionaste por que es un Quad-Core. No te recomendaría que compres el Athlon 64—no es muy rapido ya que tiene menos memoria inmediata (cache).

  • I'm upgrading from an AMD Athlon 3800+ x2 to an AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition =)

    Is going to be a whole new computer as well xD

  • Phenom 940 is better and it just costs a few more dollars :)

  • Phenom 940 costs less and is a am2+ socket the 955 is am3 so its better and worse in its own ways

  • lol i was stupid i didn't repair in the 955 part xD Sorry :D

  • Nah fine i wish i could get a phenom but since my monitor is wayyyyy outdated the build i wanna do has to have a amd anthlon 64 7750 2.7ghz BE so i can maintain good price with quality parts but all i gotta do in the future if i want more power is add a 940 in and another 4770 to crossfire

  • nah it s fine

  • amd ruless!

  • like i see i wanna to buy AMD Phenom

  • if only they made quad core athlons

  • I got a questions. I new in this world of pc.. which is the faster ? Amd Athlon 64 X2 Dualcore 6000+ (3.0ghz) or Amd Phenom 8450 X3 2.1ghz Am2+ ? somebody help me. please

  • for gaming,the 6000+ x2 will be alot better seeing as games can ony read 2 cores and games are more reliant on the frequency,so 3ghz is better than 2.1,but for muti tasking,go x3

  • thank alot men... I need a pc for gaming. so I will go for a athlon x2

  • the triple core is faster. But, again, for gaming get a high ghz processor. I have the phenom x3 8450 oc'd from 2.1 to 2.4 and so it games very well!!!

  • Go to new egg they have the 6400 Windsor cheap right now, i think 79 bucks, it clocks at 3.2ghz I believe. I almost bought it myself.

  • You bet! Dual cores are the best at high GHZ. Sweetbilly u know your PC.

  • i got the X4 phenom 9500 and it sucked compared to my X2 5200 and it wouldnt even stay running

  • Phenom1 is crap admit it, to high wattage low performance, and they cant Oc for crap.

    A amd athlon 64x4 would beat the shit out of the phenom1 x4 but there is no athlon64x4 cores.

    Phenom1 is a dissaster Phenom2 is allot better :)

  • my amd athlon 64 x2 5000 black edition is doing 3430mhz stable on 1.4 volt and the phenom1 cant touch it,

    Phenom1 sucks.

  • PLZ u dont add the cores together... learn a thing or two before u post stupid pots like this, my phenom 8450 is running at 2.45ghz per core wich means its running at 2.45ghz not 7.35ghz.....

  • lol i know this guy adding the cores!

  • LMAO

  • oh please

    3.3 stable on aftermarket hs

    whooping on your 3.2

  • your so retarded

    lmao

  • my amd phenom 9950 agena quad-core black edition is running on stock speed. 2.6ghz. u cant even touch mine, he beats u in all.

  • what is this song called

  • hey guys i just got a new phenom 9950 quad core black edition but it freezes up on me every 15-20 minutes right when im surfing the web or opening a window its getting irritating. Any advice or do i just need to send it back?

  • เห้ยเด๋วกุงงสัด-*-

    x2 บอกเหลือ 15นาทีงานจะเสร็จ

    x3 บอกว่าเหลือ 20นาทีงานจะเสร็จ

    เอาไงแน่วะ

  • How come the fourth core is faulty?!

  • The cache on the phenom is to small and it has older 65 nm technology

  • The amd much to use a bus called hyper transport, the bus makes a direct communication with the processor to memory, not so much the need to cache, because when you need some memory because of the direct her search processor, Intel implemented so that corei7 the bus, so the intel need much cache for amd.

    Now, try sticking it on the head of a fanboy; D

    Oh, I mentioned that the tricore is cheaper than the Core2Duo?

    I fanboy of my pocket =)

    I have a 8650 + 780g and I am very happy with it xD

  • Didn't you see the tricycle vs motorcycle ads that Intel has? Google them.

  • Next time I have to define "fanboy," I'll come looking for you.

    Next time Intel cums in your ass, make sure to get a tattoo that says "Intel Inside" on your left cheek.

  • hahah awesome...

  • You win Rooke!

  • I Have a Great AMD Phenon X3 8650 2300Mhx X3 and I love It and Now i will Bye a Great and New ATI RADEON 4870 Sapphire TOXIC Video Card.

    AMD-ATI RADEON Best Choice !

  • supposedly they had a bug with the early phenom x4's so the fourth core didn't work and they sold em as tri cores (bullshit i luv AMD) and they fixed this problem with the 9850 9950 and such

  • Yeah its true that AMD Phenom x3s are x4s with 1 faaulty core but the rest work fine, and they do some that are just disabled cores. I think they did fix it cos you never 2.5 ghz x3s.

  • not all were just faulty, some didn't live up to their standards, so they deactivated a core and sold them as triple cores. now they just do that to stock up on the triple cores since they've refined the process and now have the phenom II's.

  • yea athlon kiks ass

  • Phenom x3 is a electricity guzzler compared to Athlon and intel duo core.!

  • Means more power consumption ya!

    ( I like more power )

  • lol @ 30% could have add some hyperprocessing ( hyperthreading ) of their own lol

  • just built my own custom pc with X3 phenom 8450.. Ands its Fast !!

    X4 is faster, X3 is newer =)

  • W00t me to man

  • which is better X3 phenom 8450or X3 phenom 8750??

  • 8450 even though the 8750 has more ghz some how montherboard deliver better with the 8450, i dont know why

  • i say these chips should have higher clock speeds.

    like 2.6ghz - 2.7ghz - 2.8ghz

    i also think each core should have 768k of cache rather than 512k.

  • I have the AMD phenom x3 and believe me it runs like 3ghz. And thats without being overclocked.

  • how does it run at 3 ghz without overclocking? the highest model at stock runs at 2.4 ghz.
