I keep seeing reviews of the C2D 6700s ($400) versus the FX-62 ($800!) and wondering why anyone thinks its a good review. Sure, it's telling when Intel processors are beating AMD processors twice their price, but that's useless for purchasing decisions. I want an apples to apples review that's showing the 6300, 6400s up against the 4200+ X2s and 4600+ X2s, the processors in the same price range, because power per dollar is the ultimate judge of my purchasing choices.

Is there a review of the $200-ish processors?

the 6700 and the fx-62 is apples for apples. They have similar clock speeds and everything. Apples for Apples, the $600 e6700 beats the $800 FX-62. I don't see how this is useless. And just look on google for a review of the e6400. It performs on par with a 4600+ to a 5000+ x2 processor for about $100 less. Also the e6400 has a ton of OC potentially, so i don't know what you are complaining about there not being any reviews out there.
I say it because all of the reviews I've read are only showing the top-end processors of their respective lines, regardless of price. I'm not about to spend anything over $300ish for a processor, so seeing the $600 and $800 processors duking it out does me no good. Transistor count is all well and good, but when one processor costs several hundred more than the other, it's already lost in my book, unless it's offering a performance increase equivalent to the money.

Search around, not all reviews only compare 6700's, 6800's and fx-62's
