Best processor on the market for the money?
I keep looking in weekly ads of Best Buy and Circuit City to find a preconstructed pc for a good price, what sort of processor is great for a retail pc?
PC's still only have two major processor brands, AMD and Intel, and both of them are quad-core in their top models. Though Intel only recently made true quad-core cpu's (their first were dual dual-cores), Intel is also a bit more widely compatible with software than AMD, and is considered more stable, and pricier.
AMD is preferred by many PC gamers, but I consider that a bit more of a style thing since PC gamers still say they prefer using key-and-mouse for control. Kind of like people who say, "I like AC/DC, but only when Bon Scott was in it," cause it makes them sound cool.
For games, the most important thing by far is the graphics card, so far there are few games if any that work any better on 4-core than 2-core.
There are laptops made by Toshiba that contain the Cell BE, the powerhouse behind the current record-holding supercomputer, except its version of Cell has only 4 SPE's instead of 8. It's the only PC in existence to have the Cell though, so far.
Last year methods were discovered to cram even more transistors on a chip without overheating it, so processors can finally break the 4 gHz barrier, this could make multicore pc's obsolete (again) within a few years. It's happened before that "parallel processing" was the new thing but was then abandoned due to advances in single-core processing
