Why do these analyses keep excluding the e6300, and now the e4300? AMD is competitive in the sub $200 range only if you exclude these two processors. Otherwise, you have the x2 4200 vs e4300, which roundly tromps it.

This exclusion completely invalidates the pricing analysis. Its not like this hasn't been pointed out every week before, you would think that Mark Raby and Wolfgang Gruener would get a friggin' clue.

wakey wakey...

its not about power, its about cost benefit. most of AMD / Intel profits come from business not from daft little people like you and i, so if a business man who wants 5000 office pc`s goes to intel, the best he can get is an E4300 for $177 a pop, when he can go to AMD and get X2 3600 for $122 saving a total of $275.000 dollars by going with AMD and it saves power over the E4300 as well as the X2 3600 is 65Watts say a saving of 1.5 cents a day on electricity per system with AMD = $27375 saved on power.

total theoretical saving for a company to buy 5000 CPU`s from AMD over Intel = $307375

business is where the money is, and most of it does not require high performance systems.

Locutus is right. An AMD x2 3800 is just as capable of doing the things a business requires as a E6400, FX, or EE processor. They go for cost savings.

it can be remarkably beneficial for large companys to use dual cores in there ordinary desktop systems as they can be controlled from the I.T. department and with the right software can give a given firm a huge amount of untapped cpu power to pool should it need it. but for the most part, no they do not and an $80 sempron CPU is again a far more economical price for ordinary business than for said business to use an Intel E4300 @ $177.
