Daily hardware deals (Mar 13 2009)

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/13/2009 11:08 AM | source: | 0 comment(s)

It's time for the weekend update with Seth M...  ehm, Hilbert Hagedoorn ! Today another overview of some nice hardware deals we found. In this bulletin I'd like to focus on processors. And of course we can't leave out that Phenim II X3 720 which apparantly for some batches .. simply have four cores. Enable ACC in the BIOS .. and you might get lucky.

AMD Processors

  • AMD Phenom II X4 940 Quad Core Processor - spotted for $234.99
  • AMD Phenom II X4 920 2.8GHz, there's just so much value here at $199.99
  • AMD Phenom II X3 720 Triple-Core, this the Black edition Processor as well (!) only $149.99

Intel processors

  • Intel Core i7 I7-920 Quad Core Processor, my personal favorite really, $288.99
  • Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Processor, the one processor that set a milestone in history, $194.99
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Dual Core - still HEAPs of performance, priced at $164.90

If you want some advise, there are several extremely good deals here. For AMD, that 720BE processor really is kick ass. You can overclock it easily to 3600 MHz and with a bit of luck enable the 4th CPU core as well. Next in line would be the Phenom II 920 processor. Real value there folks.

Intel wise I'm just too big of a afan of Core i7. The Core i7 920 just offers massive performance and is really overclockable as well. Mind you that a DDR3 memory upgrade and X58 motherboard are mandatory, making it an expensive purchase in the end.
