E7200 vs. X2 5600+

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. And until now you haven't show any review that shows otherwise.

raw numbers from one source doesnt equal fact, and that one benchamrk test has variables like the motherboard for example. this is like when i built my first computer, ordered a 1.4 ghz amd processor and it claimed to be faster than intels 1.8 ghz processor and tried desperately to back it up with benchmarks, and it wasnt even close to as fast.

I posted another review from anadtech in one of my previous posts

So, it two sources.

And this is the third one

3 vs 0

I think I'm the winner.

In addition to that E7200 is cheaper than both 6000+ and 6400+

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)

Yup, the Intel's are amazing overclockers. I got my Q6600 from 2.4 to 3.8GHz, and my Pentium Dual-Core from 2.2GHz to 3.3GHz.

Wish I had water, or a top notch air even. I think I could get 3.8GHz with this Q6600 on air. I can boot & run SuperPI 1M with 1.39v

The Q6600 got up to 3.6GHz on air, and the E2200 I got up to 3.3GHz on air.
