AMD Phenom II X4 vs intel i5 2500k?

Quadcore yes, but 1 thread per core, so four threads in total. Intel is Dual Core with 2 threads on each core, for a total of 4 threads. Generally they are the same, and will do the same amount of calculations per thread per ghz.

One virtual thread on these processors is about as fast as fastest Intel pentium 4, 3.8ghz. So that tells you just how fast they are. Intel would be faster because it is 2 cores x 2 threads running at 2.26ghz while AMD has 4 cores x 1 threads running at 1.8ghz, but its not a great deal of difference there, only 400mhz I would go with Intel, because they last longer due to less heat.

Well the AMD has a total of 7.2ghz and the intel has 5.52ghz so the amd is the better choice there.

Fuggit, build your own. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRTpwOZuU... the i5 intel would run circles around the phenom.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
