AMD Launches Budget Processor Refresh

Posted by kdawson on from the low-end-oomph dept.

MojoKid writes "AMD has again launched a bevy of new processors targeted squarely at budget-conscious consumers. Though Intel may be leading the market handily in the high-performance arena, AMD still provides a competitive offering from a price/performance perspective for the mainstream. HotHardware has a performance quick-take of the new 3.2GHz Phenom II X2 555 and 2.9GHz Athlon II X4 635. For $100 or less, bang for the buck with AMD is still relatively high."

    Hackintosh, go Intel. Stop being an AMD faggot fanboy. They're rubbish. First you are too cheap to buy a Mac and still wanna steal Mac OSX, second you are too cheap to buy a proper CPU.
