AMD Turion(TM) 64 X2 Dual-Core TL-60 vs Intel Core 2 Duo T7200?
I am planning to buy a notebook but which processor should i select? Both processors are 2 GHz. AMD is 64-bit but Intel has a larger cache and AMD used to have heating problems. I couldnt find any performance comparisons over the net. Can anyone help?

- Intel's Core 2's are the undisputed kings of processors at the moment. even the AMD guys have had to admit that the new Intel chips are far superior. the larger cache memory is important, but you should also know that the Intels are 64-bit processors as well, so they are both Windows Vista-ready.
- If I had to chose, I'd go AMD. they fixed the thermal overload problem.
- No contest, choose the Core 2 Duo.
- It's like McDonalds and Buger King, like Nike and Reebok, like Batman and Superman. They both say they are the best, but in the end it comes down to price.
- for performance comparisons, check this site http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Category/category_cpu.asp and, i would choose the intel one
- When you are ready to buy a new system, go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net. I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready. Microsoft is about to release its latest operating system, Vista, in January. It’s going to make all of these “bargain” computers nothing but JUNK as soon as it’s released. The reason that you are seeing so many cheap systems on the market right now is because a lot of them CAN’T RUN Vista and the merchants are trying to dump them as hard and fast as they can before Vista shows up and everyone learns what a piece of crap they were sold for $500 (or whatever). Anyway, I bought a complete, new system from stupidcheapcomputers.net with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer. You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926. That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout. I have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding. Those guys blow my mind. Good luck!
