|---|---|---|
| Model | Dollar | euros |

| Phenom X3 8650 (2.30 GHz) | $167 | 105 € |

A basic system from AMD is cheaper
If you compare the costs for a basic system, AMD is considerably cheaper than Intel. An Intel board with integrated G35 graphics card (ASUS P5E-VM HDMI) costs approximately $156. With a Core 2 Duo E6550 processor in the $197 price range, this adds up to a total price of $353.
The AMD system is cheaper. The Elitegroup A780GM-A board with the HD3400 graphics card only costs $80. Plus a Phenom X3 8750 for another $124, adds up to a price of just $277.

Page 12: Doesn't that diagram show the Core2 as being slower, not the AMD?
Cartwheel?
Is that like Spider, but in a pen?
^lol
And Page 12 is certainly borked - you guys were looking at the results wrong!
And you should have emphasized the X3s encoding-power-for-cheap more. Yeah, it's good for office and media/HD, but you can happily stick a G2 4000+ into a 780G board for much the same effect at a much lower cost, owing to the chipset's unholy knack for HD-crunching
