Phenom ii X2 555 Vs i3-530

[Arock]

I want tomshardware to make a competative review on the above two processors..I request to perform the benchmarks with & without HT in i3-530..This will show the actual 2 core 2 thread comparision the two..

I'm pretty certain that the i3 would be faster clock per clock with or without hyperthreading enabled.

Even without HT, the i3 would be the winner

Once OC headroom is taken to account i3 is a no-brainer.

However, getting a Phenom II quad core (unlocked cores, if you get lucky) for $100 is tempting.
