Which type of CPU is better?

[Picard]

Intel® Boxed Core2™Duo E7500 Processor - 2.93GHz Dual Core, Socket 775, 3MB, 1066MHz FSB, 45nm,

or

Intel® Boxed Core™ i3 530 Processor - 2.93GHz Dual Core, Socket 1156, 4MB L3, 2.0Gb/s DMI Interface, 32nm,

Both are about the same price.

I would go for the newer technology - i3.
Edit: See here: http://www.guruht.com/2009/08/default-intel-core-i3-vs-core-2-e8400.html

I'd go for the i3, simply because of the larger cache.

The first sounds like a Wolfdale processor, whereas the second is the Clarkdale, the successor to the Wolfdale.

I3 530 is better.

 

[LiengLiengZA]

rather go 775.it's better

 

[P924]

The difference in price comes down to the motherboard and RAM, which is usually more expensive with an i3. The i3 is the better processor and also has a 1333MHz FSB.

 

[DenSweep]

The faster one is better...

 

[KhoisanX]

E7500 < i3 530

Quite a big difference between the two.

 

[chickenbeef]

also has a 1333MHz FSB.

Wrong.

 

[Chevron]

I3 is way better that 775.

 

[Tpex]
