A french website has tested and compared 100 (!!!) current CPUs.

Result chart: http://www.matbe.com/articles/lire/1121 ... page30.php

Amazing...

My current one is also listed.

Sempron LE-1200 - 39,4
Athlon 64 3000+ - 38,6
Sempron LE-1150 - 37,1

At least not the last place
Dont worry, I will get a whole new computer soon.

Mine is fifth on the list (Q9450)

My CPU got 62.4 ^^

I'd go with Q9550 now. It's only around 250EUR. And 400EUR for that CPU, nice mobo and 4GB of 1066MHz RAM. It's like half of the price I'd pay for a computer of that class a few years ago. And also it's mac os friendly so you can easily hackintosh it

I don't know how much my CPU has because it's heavily overclocked. :-P

Is it really so that Intel is these days so much faster or is that a bit fanboy site? I still remember good 'ol days when AMD Barton was the way to go . I have no clue these days since I cant be bothered to follow this stuff anymore..

Yeah, AMD dropped the ball since their epic CPUs back in the day. Now they roam the fields of budget-priced CPUs where they indeed outperform Intel's CPUs on a "per-Buck" basis.

That's why you should never fall into fanboyism - always choose what's best at the moment. When AMD CPUs were good I had a Thunderbird, now I have a Core2Duo. Being a fanboy would equal to e.g. buying an ATI card in the GeForce 8 era and that would have been friggin' moronic. :-P
