Repr Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 id say that the E8400 is a better and faster CPU overall. also itll clock better then the AMD. it is way more expensive though, and the AMD will by no means be a bad cpu. for the moment id say the E8400 is better at almost anything except the price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henbenley Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Yeah... Thats why I'm really considering it. Im trying to get this system up and running and then probably get an eee pc before school starts again in august. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 E8400 is much faster both clock per clock and has a lot higher oc headroom then the x2 serious. The phenom x4s are much closer in clock per clock performance but still do not clock nearly as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveandrew Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 E8400, I have mine running at 3.6 with just a slight voltage bump and FSB increase.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaGUY Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Even price matched Intels, will outperform a 6000+ once you factor in how well they OC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
