It really comes down to cost and what someone can afford. Both Intel and AMD make good products.

I would pay a little more for better performance.

One has the AMD beating the i7, the other has the i7 beating AMD.

The AMD is more cost effective. I have never had an AMD.

With regards to overclocking, how does the AMD stack up? Does it overclock easy like the i7?
This AMD is stock 3.4ghz, but has a power consumption of 140W, seems to suck on power pretty bad.

What is everyone's thoughts? I am not looking for an AMD vs Intel, just what is a better option considering budget and performance. Should I just shell out the extra cash for the i7?
i'm too lazy to read the article, but if that is the X4 965, they released a new one which has a TDP of 125W (i think) and apparently hit 7 or so ghz with extreme cooling.

I would go with Core i5. It's faster in general than Phenom II, and the price is the same, or even lower. For example in my country, Core i5 and Phenom II X4 955 are priced 200$. So I don't see a point of getting AMD if Intel has faster CPU for the same price. Good mobo for AMD 200$, good mobo for Core i5=200$. All the prices are from my country. And I got one Phenom II, but it's X4 920 @ 4GHz. My Core i7 owns it

Yeah, until you try slapping a dual fermi board into an x8 PCI-E slot.


edit: I would like to add though, i5 power consumption numbers are superb.

Didn't need hyperthreading. And saved myself like $90.00. With that extra cash I got me some me more DDR3 ram.

Well there you have it! The i5 and i7 dominate both the 955 and 965.
