1 - Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W Quad-Core

2 - AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core

3 - Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core


well, Q9650 12MB L2 Cache , Phenom II X4 940 and core i7 L3 Cache too .
beside the 3 of there are so great on the overclocking as i saw but i heard about Q9650 can be overclocked to 4.2 and 4.41 too

beside i dont know about is the triple channel cpu with the core i7 makes better and higher speed and performance more than the dual channel like the Q9650 and Phenom II X4 940

it is so difficult to say which one is the faster with higher performance if we will not upgrade on the next few years !!!

so please help me ,thanks

if you want the fastes system go with Core i7. If you want the cheapest systm go Phenom II. But if you want to overclock 4GHz+ go with the Q9650. Hope that helps.

The OP did not mention anything about gaming in his post. You know, there is people out there that use a pc for something other than gaming.

Thanks. hehe
