I would list the Sempron's and Athlon 64's but I don't think were that cheap here. ;)

**4200+, 5200+ Brisbane is still fairly uncommon but Windsor model should still be around at the same price.

AMD has great price/performance ratio for stock levels at the lower end of the range, once you get to around 5600+ levels or higher the ball shifts to Intel's court.

While the price drops are nice, it does nothing to help 65W vs 125W AMD still has to sell in the upper end of their line. The 89W 6000+/6400+ Windsors are due later this quarter.

Within 7 minutes of the original post. You must wait at your computer with baited breath. I'd say AMD's three year old parts hold up fairly well to Intel's brand new ones. Of course, things are going to change in a few months with Phenom, if anyone could wait that long... I know I can.

Except doesn't Intel and AMD measure TDP differently and therefore aren't directly comparable?

TDP for AMD means this is the max amount of power this chip will ever use.

TDP for Intel is the average power usage of the chip.

AMD chip usually use much less power than they are speced for. But all of this is just off the top of my head I may very well be wrong and if I am feel free to correct me.


Edit: I got beat I need to learn how to type faster.
 
Well Intel's TDP doesn't include the power used by the memory controller.
 
Well this changes things for the better,at least for us consumers,certainly not for AMD's bottom line. :) Its enough I will go back to reccomending AMD,at least some of the time when I am asked what to get.
