I've listed what's available at the local store, |
| 2 |
which I trust to stock reliable items, tho' I wouldn't ask their advice. |

All the AMD's are 32 nm , while the Intel recommended by one commenter |
| 5 |
-- Core i5-3570 4-Core Socket LGA1155, 3.4 Ghz, 6MB L3 Cache, 22 nm -- |
| 6 |
is 22 nm : it costs CAD 230 & they have 3 in stock, |
| 7 |
which suggests demand, but not the most popular ( 9 in stock). |

Isn't 22 nm going to be faster than 32 nm ? |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
In the same price range, AMD offers Bulldozer X8 FX-8150 (125W) |
| 12 |
8-Core Socket AM3+, 3.6 GHz, 8Mb Cache, 32 nm ( CAD 220 , 2 in stock). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
How do you compare cores vs nm ? |
| 15 |
How far is cache size important ( 6 vs 8 MB )? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
When I built my current machine 2007, the CPU cost CAD 213 , |
| 18 |
so both look as if they're in the right ballpark. |
