What would be AMD's Equivalent to Intel's E4300 & E6300

[ladic]

since Dual core, i dont know how the CPU's pair up anymore.

BUt what would AMD's equivalent to this CPU's be?

 

[ajfink]

In performance? The 4200/4400+ for the E4300 and the 4600/4800+ for the E6300.

There are many AMD processcors undercutting their Intel counterparts in price at the moment, though.

E4300 trades blows with the x2 4200+ to the 4600+(beats the 5000+ in some stuff too). The E6300 isn't much faster....wins a few more benches against the 5000+.

so is it better to buy amd since their equivalents are cheaper?

Intel CPUs will receive a price cut very soon (22nd Apr). You may decide what to buy after that day.

The only caveat is that, although the price-equivalent x2's are as cheap or cheaper than the similar performing Core2Duo, overclocking is the swing vote. If you don't want to overclock, then AMD will serve you well, but if you want a lot of extra unharnessed performance through overclocking.....Core2Duo is without equal. GL

what will be the prices of those 2 Intel Chips on April 22?

E4300: $113
E6300 / E6320 (with 2MB more L2 cache): $163

 

[ladic]

oh, wow.
Do you think they might be even cheaper at neweeg since they always have cpus cheaper there?

I doubt it. I expect they'll command a slight premium till the supply is steady (couple weeks).

Those will most likely be newegg prices. The prices that are released are what you will see in online retailers. In store retailers are the ones that jack the prices up from these prospected numbers.

P.S. Get the E6420 and OC to 3.2ghz if its within your price range after the price shrink. ($183 or so I believe) it has 4mb of cache and an 8x multi...its a beautiful thing! lol

Best,

I guess it depends on what the OP plans to do most of the time. For encoding mp3 for example the E6400 is about the same as the X2 4200+, so I guess the E6300 is similar to X2 4000+. For playing F.E.A.R. the E6400 wins by a few percentage points over X2 4200+ which makes me think E6300 would be about the same as X2 4200+, or again X2 4000+.

Too bad THG's CPU charts don't have the E6300.

http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html?modelx=33&model1=433&model2=469&chart=170

Of course, with overclocking the E6300 can beat almost any AMD X2, but that's a different story...

 

[Ninjaz7]

where do the opty's fall into place...say the 165?is it e6300 status?

 

[dobby]

the first time i saw c2d lined against AMD counter parts, i was impressed (you may notice i got one - no longer do i have a 2800+ - its now a FEAR server) when THG first compared a C2D e6300 it managed to beat a FX62 - a inspeakable feat when compared to the pentium range.

However two thing to bare in mind - 1). aparently the e4300 is a billiant budget overclocker - like the PD805, and 2). the e6300 is slowly being phased out for the e6320 - i noticed at scan.com the price had been removed.

however until April 22, if your after cheap buget dual core - (as in celeron cheap) the 3 - 4000 range from AMD is unbeatable and not too slow.

Thanks for listing new egg prices it seem us brit are beeing completely ripped off grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Oh horsecrap. Still vying for poster of the year eh?
The new brisbane 1.9 3600+ is overclocking to 3ghz no problem so thats old news horsecrap. At $65, it cant be beat especially with a very inexpensive AM2 board. Your talking $130 cpu/mobo vs. C2D $270 cpu/mobo.First of all, x2 3600+ is tapped out ~3.1GHz. Many many E6300/E4300 will hit higher than that. Even if they only hit 3.0GHz, they'de still run circles around the 3600+ at ~3GHz. Lastly, the question was... which Intel CPU matches up with which AMD CPU.....nothing asked about mobo. Why can't you.........PLEASE...for all the forum members sake, learn to read? :x

 

[Ninjaz7]

I don't mean the opty at stock,I mean the opty 165 oc'd and a e6300 oc'd in some real time benchies.Haveing an opty and not clocking it is like haveing a Vette and putting a 2 barrel on it,it jus dosen't happen(in most cases).I oc everything,my car,my pc,hell even my cat is oc'd(kat nip).So if anyone has ever owned both...let me know,thanx .

Thank you 1Tanker, now I dont have to say that. lol

It really depends on what you are primarily going to use your rig for, Ladic. Some apps benefit X2, some C2D. For gaming, there really isn't much point in spending large money on a processor. The graphics card is the single most important thing to look at if you want good framerates. It also depends on the game. For instance, if you plan on playing stalker, a $65 cpu will be more than enough, and there is about a 2 fps difference between it, and a $1000 cpu. What are you intending to do with your PC, or are you just curious?

 

[ladic]

gaming and web surfing.

 

[piesquared]

Well then if it were me, i'd look at a cheap cpu and a good gfx card. There isn't anything you won't be able to play and you'll benefit more visually from a quality graphics card. What's your budget?

 

[ladic]

about $600 for MoBo, CPU, RAM and Vid Card.

I was thinking a 8800gts, Asus Mobo, 2gig ram and X2 4400+

 

[piesquared]

Well that might be tough to do. Newegg is ridiculously slow for me right now for some reason, but you can find pretty good combo deals there. The problem is the vid card is probably going to run you around 300 itself. That only leaves 300 for RAM, CPU and motherboard. You might be able to make it work with an X2 3600 and 1GB of RAM, but it would still be pushing it i'm afraid. I think you're gonna either have to increase your budget a bit, or cut some costs. :lol:

wow I dont know what to say. When a $130 package yields nearly the same performance as a $270 package, your response is... learn to read? You need to learn to focus on what is relevant. I'm beginning to suspect that some people have simply watched too many intel commercials and heard that jingle too many times.

Hold that thought, Ladic. Might be able to make it work afterall. BRB
