| 877482 | 2010-04-17 10:39:00 | After reading several materials I understand that Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs will soon be extinct run over by the i3, 5 & 7 series. Sooner or later they will also face the same fate, we know because, there are more baits in their store awaiting us. Technically in a broader analysis, both groups are not making much difference, I suppose. Therefore, does choosing the old to the new make any difference at all? | namboothiri (14469) | ||
| 877483 | 2010-04-17 10:50:00 | depends on price for me I'm running dual core in my desktop because at the time only the i7 was out and it was out of my price league even with building my own computer | gary67 (56) | ||
