AMD's Athlon II X3 435 & New Energy Efficient CPUs: Killing Intel Below $90

Fallout 3 Game Performance
Bethesda’s latest game uses an updated version of the Gamebryo engine (Oblivion). This benchmark takes place immediately outside Vault 101. The character walks away from the vault through the Springvale ruins. The benchmark is measured manually using FRAPS.
Finally! We have a test where the Athlon II X3 435's clock speed gives it the advantage over the 620. If you're a gamer but want more cores, the 435 is a good balance of performance in existing games but better than dual-core performance in well threaded apps.
Left 4 Dead
I've got no complaints about the X3's performance in Left 4 Dead either, it's nearly as fast as the more expensive Core 2 Duo E7500 (and with a much tastier upgrade path).
FarCry 2 Multithreaded Game Performance
FarCry 2 ships with the most impressive benchmark tool we’ve ever seen in a PC game. Part of this is due to the fact that Ubisoft actually tapped a number of hardware sites (AnandTech included) from around the world to aid in the planning for the benchmark.
For our purposes we ran the CPU benchmark included in the latest patch:
Even in our most heavily threaded game test, the X3 435 is a bit faster than the 620.

It's funny how some people here are trying to guesstimate. I'm not an AMDiot like snakeoil.kiwik - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - link
Exactly, you're the omega to his alpha, whatever that means.maddoctor - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - link
Whatever, please you must notice that everyone in Intel Investorhub website and AiMeD Corporation blogs have been talk like me that AMD will be doomed with its own not so competence in developing its products.kiwik - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - link

I didn't want to stoop to your level but...you speak the truth.Maddoctor you are a retard...have fun paying $1000 for your i3 when your intel monopoly wet dream comes true.

Intel products are cheaper. Price/performance ration is more favourable to Intel products. Only AMDiot will like AMD products. And Intel is not monopoly, this is the nature capitalism folks, if you don't have any competitive product, it is a grant to a company with the best product to crush you.tamalero - Wednesday, October 21, 2009 - link
lol, this guy is for Intel-AMD what silicondoc was for ATI-NVIDIA.I wonder if Dailytech checked if its the same troll.
