AMD Phenom II X3 720 2.8 GHz is $99.00 and AMD Athlon II X3 440 Rana 3.0 GHz is $76.00. Which is better?

its according to what you think of as better, me personally, i would go for the x3 440 because of the lower price, the higher clock and the lack of L3, but the average power user would go for the x3 720 because it has the full L3 and an unlocked multi

Well if you're just gaming then go for the X3 440. Or if you're running alot of programs and want more power, get the X3 720BE.

Phenom - L3 cache will show you the difference on the same clock speeds.

I have decided on the X3 440 as some benchmarks show no real difference on what I need it for.
