i have two systems 1. core i3 3rd gen, one RAM stick ddr3, antec psu, giga byte board, win 10 2. core2duo, two RAM stick ddr2, cooler master 460watt psu, asus board, win 7 so heres a detailed account of all the that came to pass in a span of about a week (bear with me plz) one fine day theres...

as someone pointed out that the comparison should have been made with a i3-6100 or rather my suggestion would be a i3-7100 (as its current n more easily available).. these i3's are the next step upwards from a pentium and would provide a better picture of the performance gap.. similarly just the...

where do the new amd ssds fall in this heirarchy?
