AMD Phemon II vs Core i7 @ program uses 1 core at time

Which CPU would do better at apps that uses only 1 cpu. And games that uses 1 CPU too. I don't always use program which uses more than 1 CPU. It is also for family computer. Gaming and doing simple tasks.

Don't turn this thread into flaming thread.

Phemon II?

FLAT OUT WRONG.

IPC = Instructions per clock.


I haven't looked at the single core benchies lately though.

What an utter idiot, claiming that a Celeron for instance would be better

^ 486!

What was the processor that original Atari had? Now that would rock. Seriously, it in no way will matter which you use for a single threaded app/game. The rediculous frames either will bring is pointless and you'll never notice the differnce.

Alright, phenom II is cheaper than Intel core i7 but little slower. Toting it up to that both are same, but which 1 is better at program that uses 1 core.

or wait till june for the Phenom II X2 (dual core) 3.0 GHz CPU
since you will be using only 1 core, a dual core will be more than enough. also, are you sure your games are that old (non supporting dual core)?

Yeh, I'm sure my games are that old. I might download newer games later which I will be needing a motherboard with futureproof. More upgrade paths in future.

Thanks for information.
