E7200 at stock speeds is faster than 6400+ (fastest AMD X2)

i highly doubt that article (heavy bias favoring intel if you read the other articles on that site), i could give you some benchmarks from amd that would basically swap the 2. finding a neutral source is difficult.

anyway....the 6400+ (not even including the BE which is even faster) is one of the fastest, and highest performing dual cores to date. it even scores better than phenom 9850 in some benchmarks. not to mention it destroys any similarly priced intel in performance. and there is my biased opinion favoring amd

i can sense the amd and intel fanboys warming up for this one.....

E7200 is definitely a beast

have it at 3.7 Ghz.. blazing fast vs my old e4300@2.8 (bad chip)

im within max VID spec of 1.365v

[sarcasm] Ethan, your right, here come the fanboys! [/sarcasm]

Im hitting a 14.5 super pi 1M, which is pretty sweet =D

3.7 ghz?!?!?! isnt the stock speed 2.53 ghz?
thats madness! i will give intel the fact they have much more room for overclocking. the furthest ive ever been able to go with my 5000+ is from 2.6ghz to 3.3 ghz (idling at 50*C too)

The article is not biased, but according to you any review that shows the truth is biased.

I challenge you to show me one review that shows E7200 having worse average performance than 6400+ in real-world applications and gaming.

And xbitlabs is know to be one of the most reliable source on the internet. I'm pretty sure that many people agree with me on that

Anyway, here is another review for E7200 that shows similar results
http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets...spx?i=3293&p=5

So, now it not just one review but it is two review from two difference sources. Both xbitlabs and anandtech are two popular sources.


At newegg E7200 is cheaper than both 6000+ and 6400+. And it outperforms both even at stock speeds. Not to mention that E7200 consume less power and overclocks much better


E7200 does outperform Phenom 9850 in some benchmaks

So, what is your point?

It the fastest AMD dual core, but it is not the fastest dual core, and it is not one of the highest performing dual cores to date because many Intel dual cores outperform it easily even at stock speeds

i'll quote myself

anyway, im not going to argue because no one's opinion will be changed by it. the intel e7200 is a good cpu but cant be compared to the amd 6400+, maybe compare it to the 5000+

don't enjoy dealing with fanboys.....

Raw numbers are not an opinion

It is not my opinion that E7200 is better than 6400+. The benchmarks show E7200 outperforming 6400+ most of the time.

E7200 is overall better performer than 6400+ in gaming and real-world applications, and almost all the reviews are showing that. I posted two review and until now you haven't show any review that shows otherwise.
