Athlon II X4 TDP 45W 2.4 Ghz under 100 USD? Oh my!

Basically this is what I call round 2 of AMDs big sub 100 USD push. The first was the Kuma core. Which while a bit outdated today (45nm is just standard these days folks) Seriously changed the face of budget computing. |

Compared to Intel you are getting more cores for less price and power use. I think that is good enough to buy this over an Intel model.

I'll side with Zachstar on this one. This is 4 cores you can stuff into a microATX chassis without much heat. I'm all over this and already have a use for it.

I do aswell. I want to build a Home Theater Game PC. Of course it wont be near as powerful as my current build but with an X4 and with a fanless video card it will easilly beat a dual core ion at what I want it to do. Which is display HD video and be able to play games at the same time. |
