I wanna compare three CPU's on the basis of performance. These are:

1.Core 2 Duo E7300 aka Wolfdale
2.AMD Phenom II X2 550 aka Callisto
3.AMD Athlon II X2 245 aka Regor


Q1.Which one of these performs the best on stock speeds?
Q2.Which one performs the best at overclocked speeds?
Q3.I have the wolfdale . How does it compares to the rest two?

thanks for your time and valuable comments.

1- Which is the use of the CPU?

2- If the AMD has the multiplier unlocked...sometimes is better on overclok

3- I never use INTEL, but in price/performance is better AMD.

They're all very close, but in performance for stock I'd say it goes Phenom II, E7300, Athlon II.... overclocked, I dunno. E7300 might overtake the Phenom II.

If you go AMD get the Callisto......

If you go Intel get the 7300....

Don't get the Regor.....

1. The 550BE would be the best choice

2. 550BE would still perform better OC

3. e7300 would trail the 550BE. I've done testing with AthlonII 250 and E7300, it is a toss up. E7300 better at synthetics and benchmarks, while the AthlonII little better in some games.

Well I already have an E7300.
I was comparing cuz I wasn't getting answers to my ques thro benchmarks.

I mostly game,surf,listen to music and convert movies on my pc.

BTW Why is AMD still releasing dual cores?

Yes sir.... the Callisto 550 is a dual core @ 3.1Ghz.... but I have mines @ 3.9Ghz and it still has more headroom...

If you already have an E7300, just overclock and have fun with it....

If you are in the mood of upgrading you should be looking at quads and not dual cores.....

It's called they need to fill the budget and energy efficient sectors of the market. A dual core is cheaper to manufacture than a quad and consumes less power, there for it can be sold for less keeping computer prices down for the 90% of people who still go into the store and get a cheap machine that features a dual core.

Intel is still releasing new dual cores as well, they've got the dual core i3 coming out sometime this fall. Both companies are actually still producing single core cpu's for the extreme budget/low power portion of the market.

Hmmmmmm.....
How better would be the i3 than duo's and Phenom II's?

Reply to shubham1401

Exactly^

You got intel socket 775, unless you got some $$$ stupid question.

i3 will require a new setup as well. Socket 1156, and ddr3 ram.

I am just trying to make guesses on how long will my CPU be able to handle modern apps.So that's why comparing It with some new ones.

Anyways I got this comparison E8400 vs i3 .
Have a look if u r interested and thanx all for your time.
