Similar performance between AMD X2 5000+ & Intel C2D 6400, but Intel more pricier than AMD. So if opt 4 OC I'll opt 4 AMD instead Intel coz can save up a few hundred bucks 2 buy a true power PSU for OC purpose

but if u r given same amount of budget 2 buy a DIY system, I'm sure buying AMD system will let u squeeze more performance from da AMD platform coz u'll out of budget to buy a true power PSU if buy C2D. As a consequence u can't OC much due 2 PSU limitation

QUOTE(shinjite @ Apr 17 2007, 11:03 AM) Do remember that AMD is on 2.6Ghz, and E6400 is at 2.13Ghz. If u want same clock speed, try making the C2D to 2.6Ghz and compare. Intel will take over everything already  QUOTE(kanethesun @ Apr 17 2007, 11:06 AM) if compare for OC, I think that the E6400 surely pawn X2 5000. cant compare the clock speed lahhhas you can see now at the stock speed, E6400 with 2.13ghz vs X2 5000 with 2.6ghz, its already near for both performance. yet the Core2 are meant for having more room while overclock, guess it can easily clock up to 3.5ghz, (just my own estimate speed) while if so, X2 will have to clock up to 4ghz to achieve the same performance to E6400  aww, this is just my opinion  and do correct me if I'm wrong  diffrent architecture mah... if u say like that AMD fren will compare with P4 3.0Gz....hehehehehh price always what we look at 1st  |

both got own advantage and disadvantage.
as for budget, X2 will get in the place, as from X2 3600+ - X2 5000+, its still even cheaper than E6300 |

PC geeks are waiting for the price slash because it's more value for money at this time to get a core2Duo. While the AMD can be cheaper, the overclocking advantage of the C2D strikes me as it can outlast the AMD equivelant. |

even as an OCer myself, i prefer to judge processors based on STOCK speed. this is simply because users generally use at stock speed while OCing is pretty limited to the minority and OCing results vary.

E6400 only have 2MB cache. Tht means E6420 which have 4MB cache can pawn X2 5200 anytime.
Intel Conroe also provide more o'c headspace and fun. E6420 gonna replace E6400 after 2Q, More ppl will choose E6420 which only cost RM650+ rather than AMD or E6600. Read from somewhere b4, E6420 o'c result is very promising. 2 thumbs up ! |

Come on, making so much fuss about the price difference when IN LESS THAN 1 week, one can buy E6400 or even better, E6420, at around RM600.
