AMD athlon vs processor i7

[srividhya]

i want to know which processor is very fast between Amd athlon vs processor i7.

 

[majorgibly]

i7 2600k is pretty quick compared with athlon, infact do they even sell athlons anymore?

The question is rather general so the answer is as well the I7 is faster but here you can check specific CPU's if you have some in mind http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/188?vs=287
