INTEL CORE i5 2500 CPU
"We are testing the Intel Core i5 2500 processor against the AMD FX 8150 processor. The Intel Core i5 2500 is clocked at 3300Mhz and the AMD FX 8150 is clocked at 3600Mhz. We will be using Benchmarks for testing the Intel Core i5 2500 and AMD FX 8150 which are:- Divx, Povray, Sysmark 2012, Windows Media Encoder, Dragon Age Origins and World of Warcraft. The Intel Core i5 2500 has 9% lower clock speed than the AMD FX 8150 and the Intel Core i5 2500 has 25% less L3 Cache than the AMD FX 8150. The Intel Core i5 2500 also has Intel Turbo Boost Technology for an extra advantage to make up for the 9% lower clock speed."
