Athlon != FX/Piledriver. AMD did improve the architecture; Piledriver is a moderate improvement from Bulldozer, and probably slightly above K10, depending on what you're doing.
Also, there's a few extra cores from a dual-core Athlon/C2D to a 6-8 core piledriver. Many games are getting better at using more cores. Especially BF4.
And no, it wouldn't beat all Haswell chips. While Ivy/Haswell are minor IPC improvements, both Nehalem and Sandy Bridge were massive IPC improvements from a C2D.
And the Piledriver memory controller beats the DDR2 found on almost all LGA775 platforms.
You've got a cheap, old chip. That's not indicative of other chips. If you had an E2200, you'd be saying the same thing about Intel.
i think have that cheap e220 also.
hasswell are atleast 20% faster than sandy bridge
fx may have improved over althon but it is still not powerful than a c2d yet
well since you think you know everything....
some few points to know
why cant fx beat a i5 if a fx is more powerful than a core 2 dual even at 4ghz x8 core 8350 ?
how many time faster is haswel 1ghz over a 1ghz core 2 dual ?
Ok it's pretty obvious that you know nothing about computers but are very good at trying to hide it so that you're not embarrassed but the jig is up. The Core2Duo CPU is garbage by today's standards and the Athlon X2 hasn't been in production for over 5 years which means it's completely irrelevant. Someone Somewhere is 100% correct when he recommends the FX-6300. I'll go a step further and say that he should get an ASRock 970 Pro3 motherboard and a Powercolor Radeon HD 7870XT 2GB video card. Furthermore, he should have at least 8GB of DDR3-1333 and nothing less will run BF4 properly. And yes, the Core2Duo is FAR LESS. It will not run any modern game properly and will cause a huge bottleneck to any modern video card that is attached to it. My God man, you don't even seem to know that there are several generations of Core2Duo from Prescott to Conroe to Wolfdale with HUGE performance differences in between them. Give it up, everyone here who knows tech can see that you don't know a thing and you're only making yourself look bad. See those badges that Someone Somewhere has? He had to earn them by showing that he has knowledge and is willing to help people with it. You're completely wrong, face it, learn from it and move on like an intelligent human being.
Hi.
trying to hide embarrassed what ? dear you have lost your mind.
A core 2 dual like e7500 wolfdale requires 1.75 ghz to match a 1ghz i5 haswell
While amd fx requires 2.2ghz to match a 1ghz i5 haswell
I have 4670k and e7500 so i know this.Bleive it or Not
it sounds You have not seen a intel c2d i3 i5 i7 mostly.
AMD still has a long way to catch Up it's core power.
