The TweakTown review of the AMD chip was impressive with regard to price/performance when OC'd. Getting 3.9Ghz on air without a lot of work is pretty cool.
But looking at the comparison graphs, the E8500 -- OC'd to 3.7 and I think with two fewer cores -- seems to beat the Athlon all over the place.
So what makes this cheap new chip more desirable than the E8500?
Even more interested: How is Intel's chip beating the AMD chip with half the cores???
Thanks,
