have an Nvidia with CUDA for render, and see ur render time cut in half..

nope, i3 2series is more powerful than x3 in all aspect

its even faster than Fx6 and x6 in games

budget for i5 at least para ma appreciate nmo overall performance difference.

if i3 2120 ra ako i ups @ 3.45ghz, noticable ba ang difference sa ako x3 at 3.7 ghz?

kay if negligible ra ang performance gain aning duha, hdd nalang ako i-up, wait for pile drivers, then if phail gihapon shift to haswell next year. (good plan?)

maybe... or maybe not... hehehe... it depends on the game but sa net info, mas better ang performance sa mga sandy bridge processors... got an i3-2120 but haven't used it to the max (just in gaming though)...

let's wait for the gurus to comment...

AMD Phenom II X3 720 - 2.8GHz - 1.5MB L2 - 6MB L3

vs

Intel Core i3 2100 - 3.1GHz - 512KB L2 - 3MB L3

AnandTech - Bench - CPU

it's not negligible to have upto 20% performance headroom, and that is if ur x3 is the PII X3 720

Intel Core i3-2120 (3.3G) 3mb - Processor - Components
5.3k sir.
