just been on their official website and have found their latest processors below but can not find a proper comparison chart for the whole lot, i am only wanting to know so i do not get into any pitfalls of buying a system and find it is not the best in terms of speed, so are there any charts and can people tell me in simple terms the pros and cons of each one and what they all do, cheers

 

AMD FX Processors

AMD A-Series Processors

AMD Phenom™ II Processors

AMD Athlon™ II Processors

AMD Sempron™ Processor

from bottom to top, are worst to best... with Sempron being cut-down, budget chips, and the FX being for the high-end Server market, the Athlon II are often dual or triple core, while Phenom II are quad or 6 core, and A-Series are low-end server..

I've had a PC with a Phenom II X3 triple core for just over a year? :huh:

 

Stills seems blazingly fast to me (4GB DDR3 RAM, on Win7 Pro 64, in miniITX/spacesaver format), but then I'm no heavy-duty PC gamer/modder/tweaker (....anymore :D).

If your budget is that big go sandybridge, I5, might even stretch to I7. Will outperform the AMD by a mile, plus overclocking on the Sandy's is very good

 

I know this one is expired, but dell deals like this turn up all the time: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/dell-vostro-desktop-sandybridge-i5-2400-4gb-500gb-wifi-1gb-radeon-w7-pro-3-year-994373

quite a few people on here seem to recommend dell computers, i am assuming that dell are a solid brand to trust

 

and what is sandybridge, are they in all intel chips
