AMD Athlon X2 6000+ 3ghz VS AMD X2 220 2.8 Ghz

[alijah]

Hello, please i need an advice. I have a Gygabite MB ga-57sli-s4 with AMD Athlon X2 6000+ 3ghz processor and i want to change the processor with AMD X2 220 2.8 Ghz. The last one it`s newer and it needs less power than the first one. I want to know if AMD X2 220 2.8 Ghz is better than AMD Athlon X2 6000+ 3ghz . Thank You !

it's about the same so probably not worth upgrading. the best cpu you can get with that motherboard is a phenom II x4 or x6

The X2 220 would be more of a sidegrade. Their performance is pretty much even.
