AMD's Athlon II X3 435 & New Energy Efficient CPUs: Killing Intel Below $90

SYSMark 2007 Performance
Our journey starts with SYSMark 2007, the only all-encompassing performance suite in our review today. The idea here is simple: one benchmark to indicate the overall performance of your machine.
Overall performance under SYSMark is pretty balanced for the Athlon II X3 435. It's faster than the $99 quad-core (620) but slightly slower than the quad core 630. We're slower than the old triple core Phenom II X3 720 though.

No, it will never. You can get a decent performance Intel rig with less than 500 dollar. Intel products will become cheaper and cheaper. Consumer will be more happy with cheap Intel products and they can choose it only from the most trusted brand for processor, Intel.fsdetained - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 - link
You can buy A intel rig for $500, yes. But, it will not be as powerful as the AMD $500 build. Taking into account you spend just as much money on the intel processor as you do the AMD processor. Or you'll likely spend more on the amd processor as there are many ways to cut corners and still have 95% of the performance of the other parts and get a better processor.doomedtofrag - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - link
Yeah, your name says it all. You so badly wanted Hitler's thing in you, but since that no longer is a possibility, you are after Intel now???LSnK - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - link
So how much do Intel pay you? Haha.fitten - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - link
5) If Intel owns the Chipset/CPU/Graphics markets 100% that would be -bad- no competition to keep prices low, remember when a decent computer would cost over 3 thousand bucks?Kind of like Apple does now, then. ;)

Intel will not jacks up the prices at random. Intel is a good company with many OEM's respect to Intel. Intel did not do anything wrong, with its dominant power. This is AMD's own fault that it did not has manufacturing capacities for its processors production. This is the fate of Intel that Intel will own all.bsensible - Tuesday, March 23, 2010 - link
Get real! Are you an Intel Sales rep? Without AMD most of us can ill afford a computer. The slowest one would cost over $1000. Business is business. There is no such thing as a good or moral company. They answer to their share holders, not to you or me. If you are only joking. It is not funny at all.fsdetained - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 - link
Yeah intel is a great company, other than all of the bribing, overpricing, trying to monopolize. Other than that they are a good company and make good processors/ssd's/everything else. IGP's blow so far though.dragunover - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 - link
You nailed that one on the head.blowfish - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 - link
not worth responding to such a troll! At least maddoctor seems very appropriate. Could do with brushing up on his written English, but then who knows what backwater he inhabits.
