which is faster utilising jsut a single core from each

any readings i can have or benchmarks ..on a crap computer right now so dont feel like spending 2 hours trying to find the right links

thanks :)
 
Um, if you're talking about it like this way then it's all down to the L2, L3 cache and the architecture of the core.
 
ive got the windsor version of the amd 5200+ dont know the exact specs as of this moment cause eim not at home i beleive it was b2
and the quad cores l1 l2 and l3 caches are MUCH more robust then the 5200 so judging by that clock for clock it would be a faster chip?
 
There are two Athlon 5200 Windsor processors models that I found. One is an 89 Watt and one is 65 Watt processor. The 89 Watt uses F2 stepping and the 65 Watt processor uses F3 stepping. The Windsor models also use 90 nanometer techonology.

The Phenom 9850 Agena Processor uses B3 stepping and uses 65 nanometer technology.

I think the Phenom 9850 processor was released around March 2008 and the Athlon 5200 Windsor processor was released around October 2006.

In my opinion within 17 months AMD improved their processors a good deal. I can't give you the approximate marks though.
 
thank you from what ive seen first hand teh single core performance gain is massive have it installed now MUCH more overclock headroom as well :)

for the record i had the 65watt model thank you for your help though :)
 
That gives me hope for if I decide to upgrade my Athlon 4600+ Windsor (2.4 gigahertz). I was thinking about a Phenom I Tri-Core processor, but I may just bypass it and go for the Phenom II with Double Data Rate 3 memory in the future.
 
if youhave the extra cash by all means go with the phenom 2 but not below the 810 i think it was itperforms worse so then the 9650 (dont quote me on taht im pretty sure im remembering the benchmark correctly though)
