To be really honest though, when I got my new Dell Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz T7200 system, I was expecting alot of improvement over my older Pentium 4 531 desktop. Believe it or not, I didn't expect much. E.g, running a virus scan whilst browsing a Flash web page pretty much maxes 99% of my two cores. Not to mention my virus scan took longer than expected; 25 minutes compared to 35 minutes by my Pentium 4. Plus, there's not even half of the amount of files I have in my laptop than my desktop.

they compare a phenom x3 against a intel core2. it's true that AMD gives you more performance for the buck when buying a budget system. however, if you compare the Phenom x4 against for example a quad 9550, you'd take your statement back :). amd doesn't have anything to compete with against intels more expensive models.

i agree that a AMD quadcore phenom is faster than Intel quad core... darkmaster and enigma067, dont you know that this 2008 and 2009 the AMD will became popular in the world as i Watch in the top of the vid, it is proven that AMD is faster than intel try to watch and finish vid yo....

"Isn't unpopular" .... damn typos.

darkmaster010, AMD is unpopular. They've sold more CPUs in 2005 then Intel did. Check the news in yahoo. Intel is so afraid of AMD they actually pay their customers not to do business with AMD. When AMD wins the antitrust lawsuit, Intel will be put where they belong. Check GoogleNews for ANTITRUST.
