Nice results. But which one is more OC able? And whats the price differences.

go go go AMD, finally they did something

So this proves that the X2 5600 beats e6600?
Hmm...

Thinking of getting C2D, but after seeing this, hmm... hmm...

Bleh!
I'm a hardcore fan of intel!

I won't go for AMD eventhough it's proven that it's beaten by AMD!

AMD hardcores, don't be mad at me...

I think X2 5600+ is more expensive E6600

watever.....i just only afford pentium D/althon64 T.T

5600 stil 65 or 90?

if can beat mean amd 65 will kaw kaw pawn intel

hehe,i same as you.until now day i haven try amd yet.

beat but not by far. and FYI guys, AMD has all the while been doing something, the X2s are never too far off from the C2Ds to begin with.

Meaning?

#1 - based on the picture shown, it just has higher score on various benchies but it's not by far.

#2 - we have not considered the price factor

#3 - title stated "finally AMD is doing something" is total crap. the statement was as if AMD was doing nothing. fact is that if you compare X2 with C2D of a same price point, X2 lose out only by a bit (ok not so "a bit in certain cases) but it certainly is not like how a VIA 800 - 1ghz processor doing only as good as an Intel's 500 - 700mhz processor.

At least AMD is not resting on their laurels and have tried to close the gap with Intel's E6600. From the benchmarks, AMD only lost out a bit to Intel for the 3DMark06 benchmark and it will be more attractive if AMD could price it cheaper than Intel's E6600. It shows that AMD can still push their X2 architecture further.

3dmark doesn't mean a thing. they use their proprietary engine which i've not seen other games use.

max-fx engine on 3dmark01 was used by max payne. after that, i don't remember hearing of any game that uses 3dmark engine, especially the popular games.

is that china or taiwan?, why so geng can do street demo like pasar malam?
how much is 5600+?

hehee.. im also about to ask the same question
hope the price not really creating deep hole into pocket

I will wait on the pricing before saying who will win this. AMD might just price it a little lower, but by that time, Intel might slash the price for the E6600 too. with the performance that little, this is too hard to call. but I'd say it's still an Intel lead for this

Its in Japan. Its nice to see AMD is not totally losing.

@ newegg.

Intel C2D E6600 is USD315,
AMD X2 5600+ is USD325.
