Hi Guys, I'm planning to buy a Compaq Presario notebook...choosing between V3203TU (Intel Core2 Duo) and V3203AU(AMD)...I'm having a dilemma which one to buy..  .AMD Turion 64x2 isit faster than Intel Core2 Duo? which one of the two processors are better? For gaming, I know AMD is better...but what are the benefits of Intel's Core2 Duo? more stable and more energy efficient? I do play games but I need to know if Intel's Core2 Duo is better in terms of overall performance and speed...for normal applications like MATLAB and SOLIDWORKS. cos it seems AMD Turion 64x2 has been around a long while..(could it be starting to get obsolete?) but Intel's Core2 Duo has just come out..(upgraded from Core Duo)..From research, I feel Core2 Duo is better...but I need to know if its worth it sacrificing overall improved performance (Core2 Duo) for a gaming laptop.  (AMD)...And another thing...when is quad core coming out? anyone knows? hehe..how is the pricing? This post has been edited by giggsyy: Apr 19 2007, 08:35 PM |

QUOTE(techie.opinion @ Apr 19 2007, 09:11 PM) I got friend bought V3??? with Intel Processor and Intel GPU (GMA), he claimed that he was dissapointed choose Intel spec. If he come to know how good AMD spec + NVIDIA GPU for sure he will choose AMD spec. He worked as a graphic artist and do freelance job! I still believed if the person want to buy this lappy for study or to use in office, then INTEL is recommended since it has X factor developed for it. INTEL well known about their power saving and office use CPU technology. Just My 2 Cents how disappointed was ur fren? lol..  .like techie.opinion said...really intel GMA gay...definately not for gaming....I guess it depends on what u want to use the laptop for..gaming or office use...but i use for both leh....haiz...WHY CANT INTEL CORE2 DUO LAPTOPS HAVE NVIDIA GC like AMD??????????  but how about v3203AU(AMD) for softwares such as MATLAB and SOLIDWORKS? does it lag when running those softwares? anyone that has this laptop can comment? I was considering buying Intel Core2 Duo...now..looks like im gonna change my mind..but I dunno if AMD is a good choice... |

QUOTE(kanethesun @ Apr 19 2007, 09:49 PM) hmmm, for the X2, its actually very good, at least for me, as I upgrade mine to 2gb ram, I cant say it have the best performance, but its still acceptable  as I try Warcraft 3, normal game with 12 players, although its lag while battle start, still its play-able this is what I've on my lappy OT: any networking pro here? I already connect my lan cable to my router, I can online, but then I cant seems to see the share file in my network, any ideas? no problem kanethesun..hehe... I have a fren who has the compaq presario v3010AU..his specs almost the same as the laptop im looking at..(v3203AU)...only difference is the +60gb for hard disc....and he bought it last year..october..2006..AMD processor..really outdated for Turion 64x2...haiz...L2 cache..AMD has only 1mb isit? Intel has 2mb? should i buy intel core 2 or amd????sigh...read some comparison charts for core 2 and amd..really core 2 is faster...encoding videos and compressing...haiz haiz haiz.. dilemma |

Added on April 20, 2007, 12:07 amEhemmm.. take note about amd and intel. They have their own approach to counter the data processing speed. Generally, intel keep on increasing their cache. How about amd? ahaaa... find it out. its interesting. don't get tied with advertisement info. Techie opinion...so how does AMD counter the data processing speed? can u tell me pls? hehe but according to http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/02/27/dua..._cpus_explored/ core2duo definately is faster than AMD turion 64x2... |
