The line-up of new CPUs between AMD and Intel are getting crowded especially with the newer generations that sports 4 to 6 core CPUs. Was wondering if people are upgrading as fast as the CPUs are being introduced.
Our new poll for this week seeks to find out — Which CPU are you running on? I’m limiting the choices to the ff. processors:
(If you have multiple PCs, pick the fastest CPU you own.)
I’ve added the poll on the sidebar so you can submit your votes there. You can leave a comment below too if you want to qualify your choice.
As for me, I haven’t jumped yet to the Core i7 I was planning months ago so I’m still on a Core 2 Quad Q6600 (which I seldom use lately to save on electricity).

intel celeron gamit ko ngayon..
Ed says:
My old neighbor was an engineer at AMD and he was an @$$.. so i decided to boycott AMD and go all INTEL for life haha
n2 says:
currently using Intel Atom, but saving money for the Intel Core i7…
wakocoke says:
Athlon X2 unlocked to Quad Core
Teknisyan says:
nice.. my laptop very first CPU is a AMD Athlon 900, then our old but still dependable laptop is using celeron now my current CPU is using Intel Core 2 Duo E7500.
No immediate plans to upgrade to any of the “core i” family processor.
Miguel says:
C2D on work MacBook, Athlon X2 3600+ on my personal rig (rarely used now).
Next personal laptop will probably be a CULV. not so important anymore.
JP says:
Phenom 2 555BE dual-core unlocked to quad core via my Gigabyte board.
Now that’s power for ya!
But I’m seriously considering buying an i5 750 in the near future, or better yet, a phenom x6 (though it pales in comparison with the i7)
Also, good news folks: Intel core i7 prices are expected to be sheared to 3/4 by August.
Paolo says:
core i3!
wakocoke says:
@JP
wow tuna! that’s an amazing procie!
peps says:
Just got an i7 860 over the weekend. So far, I’m sleepless. :D
This is a major upgrade for me since 2005 because my P4 HT already broke down.
bench says:
been using a CULV..but I prefer centrino as this is really good during its time..
JP says:
@wacocoke,
haha, yeah.
My friends bought their processors at much higher prices than mine. But when I unlocked the two dies of the Phenom 2 procie, the CPU performance skyrocketed and my processor easily outdid theirs.
One thing to consider when buying AMD processors is that they consume far more power than their equivalent Intel processors. The only downside to Intel’s line of processors are the not-so-friendly prices, even for so-called “economy processors” like the i3 series.
Also, Intel boards are not as cheap as AMD boards. Similar chipset boards cost about 1,000 pesos more (on the marginal level).
But if it’s me you’d ask, any of the two processor brands will do, performance-wise, since 80% of your time would still be dedicated staring at the desktop. LOL

Pentium D 820 2.8ghz ang gamit ko hanggang ngayon, running at Windows 7, noong tinignan ko yung temperature nang CPU ko sa CPUID Hardware Monitor, nasa 62~70+ degree celsius, noong niresearch ko yan, hindi na normal yan, pero hinawakan ko ang heatsink nang cpu, normal naman, malamang yung chipset na nagmonitor nang cpu, hindi accurate at tama ang pagkabasa

Athon 2
Jon says:
Athlon X2 5000 on my desktop and Athlon Neo X2 on my netbook. I love AMD. It may not be as fast as its Intel counterpart, but it is very affordable. Also, I don’t need much of that speed with what I do. Actually, IMO, the difference is negligible.
Ugh, I’ve been reading that Intels I series run too hot, though normal. Scary.
Maybe I’d upgrade for a Phenom or something when I get that gaming itch again. Right now, I’m just fine with my setup :)
Onynz says:
Just got my core 2 quad last january
Kinny says:
Core 2 Duo. Saving up for at least an i5.
republic of gamers says:
i5 on an asus g60jx. so far so good. crysis runs smoothly even on high settings.
Hamster says:
Celeron Mobile laptop ko panahon pa ng hapon. But saving for Phenom IIx4sssss
Jap says:
AMD 64-bit only!!!
The fastest that I can afford. The latest I bought was a an Athlon II X2 250. The other, older, two are Athlon X2 5000+s.
I used to be an Intel fanboy until I learned that Intel gives Micro$oft unpublished specs of their CPUs only to Micro$oft. Being a Linux and Free/Open Source Software supporter, this is not acceptable to me.
As soon as my P4s started dying, I bought only AMD CPUs, the first one is an Athlon 64 (single core) back in 2006.

Core 2 Duos and Quads are here to stay.. At least for the next two years. Up to par naman ang performance nila.
nico says:
I’m still on Intel Celeron 420, on a rig I assembled when I was still a freshman. Next year, after I graduate I’m planning to build a Core i5-750 rig, or wait for the white MacBook to have a proc upgrade (a Core i3 or a lower end i5 would be nice) :D
