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."

    Personally speaking I see no point purchasing the absolute bleeding edge when it is just going to become non-bleeding edge in 8-months

    How about in 3 months?
