There is no competiton mesh dual core amd all the way. Ive said it time and time again the dual core is a gaming chip no matter what Amd say about the FX weeks micromart test dual core porperly encoding mp3 and dvd while playing games or running other high yeild apps. 2 cores each will run an app at 100% Intel pentium storage heaters are no competition to Amd

Im sorry but this is the Amd speil to make it ok to release the FX 57. No one and I mean no one just runs a game its impossible. Theres an operating system running virus scan firewall,let core 2 worry about these while core 1 works unhindered on your games .These are facts read this weeks micromart(14th- 20th may need to be quick to get it)I will scan the article and email it anyone who wants to finally read a true review on dual core
