FINAL RESULT

COMMENT - "The Intel Core i3 2120 is an excellent CPU which is very fast thanks to it's 3.3Ghz Clock Speed and Hyper-Threading. The Intel Core i3 2120 also operates at a cool temperature, uses low powerm has a TDP of only 65w and 32nm production process. The TDP of the Intel Core i3 2120 is 31% lower than the 93W the AMD Athlon II X4 645 uses. Even though the Intel Core i3 2120 is Dual Core it uses Hyper-Threading to add two logical cores which will greatly improves the Performance. An extra added bonus which the AMD Athlon II X4 645 doesn't have is a large Level 3 Cache of 3MB which will greatly improve Performance especially with Games Software. The AMD Athlon II X4 645 might be Quad Core but the Intel Core i3 2120 is Dual Core with Hyper-Threading and the performance results show that the Intel Core i3 2120 is the better CPU. Now we come to the problem with Intel Core i3 2120 which is the price. The Intel Core i3 2120 costs 20% more than the AMD Athlon II X4 645 yet offers only 12% extra performance which is disappointing. However I am still giving the win to the Intel Core i3 2120 because it is cool, quiet, power efficent and gives great Gaming Performance."
