I came across an awesome $450 rebate on the Vigor Gaming website that puts the FX-62 at approximately the same price as the Core2duo E6420 2.13ghz. I am having a hard time deciding. The Fx-62 has a higher clock speed and is AMD's top of the line chip, but the E6420 draws less power (and is cooler), is built on 65 nm archetecture (vs the 90 nm of the FX-62) and has a larger L2 cache (4 mb vs. 2 mb). however, the FX-62 is supposed to be an awesome CPU.
anyone have any suggestions? thanks.
