Intel E6420 vs AMD 5600+ Processors Review

The battle between AMD and Intel goes on, each company coming back to match and out-do their rivals newest products. But today we aren’t going to be looking at their top of the line processors, but their most affordable quality processors. These would happen to be Intel’s Core 2 Duo E6420 (code name Conroe), and AMD’s Athlon x2 5600+.

These two processors are very powerful and trying to pick between them is a very hard choice for any consumer. For the average consumer, we would have to say that the AMD 5600+ is a better choice- the speeds are phenomenal and there is no reason that a person should need anything more. For those that are into intense gaming or have a high graphical demands, simply changing the motherboard or adding a dedicated video card to this processor would supply a great boost in video processing power to either of these combos.
