i need good dual core processor
but i don't know which 1 i have to choose. I have bad time so that i have little budget for system upgrade . Any suggestion for choosing good AMD or Intel Processor and Motherboard . I am from India so please help me

Intel is good in dual core or amd ?
my budget is Rs 7500/- for motherboard and processor
 
Solution


Really you need then go with A4 5300/A6 6400k/A6 5400k but i don't think that will available to your city or state for A6 processors
Good dual core processor will Be A4 5300 having integrated GPU Radeon 7485D and Intel G2130 only HD 2000 graphics that's worst .
But Intel G2130 is good in other applications and only...

If you're going for budget, go for AMD with their AthlonII X2 chips (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AMD-Athlon-II-X2-270-3-4GHz-PC-Processor-Dual-Core-Socket-AM3-2MB-65W-/330910199558?pt=UK_Computing_CPUs_Processors&hash=item4d0bc8ef06) and if not then the i5 3470T(http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-Core-i5-3470T-S-1155-Ivy-Bridge-Dual-Core-2-9GHz-5-GT-s-DMI-650MHz-G-/130918323215?pt=UK_Computing_CPUs_Processors&hash=item1e7b57140f). Although if you were going to be expecting high performance from a dual core chip then think again.

The i5 one is a nice chip but nowhere near as good as what you would get from, say a 6 core Phenom or even a quad core FX4300. Here's a listing for a very good, cheap quad core if I can change your mind - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AMD-FX-4300-Quad-Core-3-8GHz-AM3-8MB-Cache-95W-TDP-CPU-Processor-/380641941735?pt=UK_Computing_CPUs_Processors&hash=item58a00718e7

Here's a board that will accommodate both of the AMD ones I mentioned - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ASRock-N68C-GS-FX-AMD-Socket-AM2-AM3-DDR2-DDR3-Motherboard-with-GeForce-7025-/171044011796?pt=UK_Computing_LaptopMotherboards_CPUs_CA&hash=item27d3047f14. It will be more difficult finding a board for the i5 because Intel swap their socket types like crazy but if you do a bit of digging you'll find one :)

I can't give honest feedback about them but from what I've seen they're very good. They do exactly what they're supposed to do, which is give gaming and real world performance. On benchmarks I've seen the top of the line APU beat the newest Intel processors so yeah go for it if you want to do a bit of light gaming. They're a balancing act though so don't think you'll be getting amazing CPU performance.

Intel isn't really considered to be ideal for those on tight budgets. What were you hoping for the computer to do? Bit more information could help me recommend a good system for you. What's your budget?

But Intel G2130 is good in other applications and only 55W power consumption that's good

yes bro you are right i know that its good when you are using with the dedicate GPU . But the price is nearly Twice and half as the price of AMD A4 or Intel G2130
And Intel 4 th generation i3 processors are owsome but budget matter after all
