AMD Triple Core Phenom X3 8750
Conclusion:
As you have seen on the previous pages of benchmarks, the AMD Phenom X3 8750 perform outstandingly. Compared to Intel's Core 2 Duo E6600 which is priced at $230, $45 more than the Phenom X3, the performance is outstanding for its price. Being aimed for low cost computing, the phenom X3 teamed up with AMD's new 780G chipset makes it possible to build a high performance low cost machine.
A good example of what we mean would be to compare the best I. G. platform for entry-level PCs ($500 system price) from Intel and AMD. For $360, you get the foundation of Intel’s latest G35 integrated graphics platform and a reasonable dual-core solution… Asus’ Asus P5E-VM HDMI ($130) and the 2.4GHz C2D E6600. But for only $290, you could get AMD’s latest 780G integrated graphics ($90 Asus M3A-78 EMH HDMI) platform and an equally-clocked 2.4GHz Phenom X3 triple core ($195). We know how AMD 780G compares to Intel’s G35 in gaming and Blu-ray playback, and you also get the benefit of a multi-core CPU. (“780G and a core for free”). If you go with a less expensive AMD 780G motherboard, you will save enough to add a Radeon HD 3450 GPU into that configuration and get ATI Hybrid Graphics Technology and still be cheaper that the Intel integrated graphics setup.
