Review : Beats AMD by a fair margin!
Hi all
I bought this processor (Core i3 2100) as I found myself unable to decide which AMD processr to upgrade to after my AMD Phenom II X2 545 (3.01Ghz) packed up.
After reading sevaral reviews I was impressed by the figures I was seeing. Computer Shopper gave this processor an overall score that was higher than a Phenom II X6 1090T (a LOT more expensive)!
I don't do a lot of image manipulation or video editing or anything like that so I decided I did not need a quad core chip. As long as my framerates on my fave games did not drop I was happy.
With a Radeon 5850 this processor rocks! This processor has 2 cores but also has Hyper Threading so appears in Windows as having 4 cores (bonus)
Even the built in graphics on the chip are quite a bit better than anything AMD boards offer built in on the mobo.
For a bottom of the range processor it ROCKS!
Purchased this processor with a Gigabyte Socket 1155 mobo (B3 revision/stepping)
Over all I would...
