Intel Core i3 2120 or AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE?

The Phenom II X4 965 BE has better gaming performance. Check the results: http://www.techspot.com/review/269-amd-p... Only one game in existence (Dirt 2) has been shown to perform better with AMD's new hexacore processors. For everything else, those extra cores are sitting idle and it's clockspeed that matters.

The 1090T and 1055T are superior to the Phenom II X4 for video editing and 3D design work, but not for gaming.

I'd say the quad core 3.2 would be better for gaming. I highly doubt there will be a game coming out anytime soon that is so processor consuming that it will use anything more than 4 cores. Even resource hogging games like WOW and things like that don't use a ton of cores.

If you plan on downloading stuff while playin the game, while listening to music, while browsing the internet, while skyping, then your gonna want faster core speeds, not more cores. Easy way to look at it: if you plan on running 4 wow accounts simultaneously (will bog down even high end computers), you are going to want 4 fast cores. The 6 core processor will be able to run 6 wow accounts, but will not run any of them as fast or smoothe as 4 accounts on the faster cored processor.

I would think the 6 core processor would be used more for a server than a gaming comp. Just like the 8 core intel, or the 16 core amd.. made for servers. CAN be used to game on, but unless the cores speeds are very high, the 16 core processor will still lag and be under more stress than a quad core with high speeds.

Personally, from experience, I would recommend the intel core 2 quad extreme. Best and fastest processor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Better than i7 quad.

Better than any amd. Hope this helped.

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.
