how does this compare to the Intel Core i5-4670K Quad-Core Desktop Processor 3.4 GHZ? im new to this kinda stuff and i have no idea xD

There really isn't any comparison the AMD has 8 cores, the intel has 4 . Not only that but the AMD fx would be as fast as a intel more in its category like the i7, but at a fraction of the cost. So to sum it up, it would eat that i5 and two more like it for lunch. Hope this helps you.

The i5 runs a bit cooler and is almost exactly the same speed at most things. Aside from the energy and heat savings of the i5 the 8320 is the way to go because it's far less expensive than the i5. They both over clock equally well but the i5 requires a much more expensive chipset and will add even more money to your chip cost. I actually have both of these chips and my i5 motherboard costs $250 and my 8320 motherboard only cost me around $90 if I remember and it has most of the same features with the exception of built in wifi. If cost is no factor intel wins just barely

Well price point is the biggest factor, which is why I went with an amd also if your building then its definitely a bonus because you save money and its also harder to run these processors into the ground, which is also a plus. You're better off going with something less expensive on a build especially considering when the most important content on your computer is on the HDD, the processor is easily replaced and in all you get more speed for your money with AMD.

Depends on what you expect! For normal applications the difference between that quad and a core duo aren't really overwhelming - if you do video stuff it's almost twice as fast as a duo though.... Remember to get a good cooler with it - this thing eats up twice the wattage of a duo and needs to be cooled accordingly....

quad core all the e's and q's and pentium d 925 and up. I put a q6600 and over clocked it to 3.3 ghz and ran fine

any comparisons you gotta make can be done through benchmark sites. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/ ^ that's t he one i usehappy shopping

Turbo boost goes to 3.4GHz. It's a typo on their part. It should say "2.4GHz-3.4GHz (Turbo)"It actually does state further down the page: "Processor: 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ (6MB Cache, up to 3.4GHz w/ Turbo Boost) (Standard)"It's still a really good cpu, I no longer have the Alienware and purchased a better spec'ed custom build laptop but kept the same cpu as I felt that it was powerful enough.

The Laptop it is very fast, this processor have 4 core and my experience with Intel Celeron was very bad, so, to me, This AMD processor it is better than a Intel Celeron.

Just to make it clear, this machine does NOT have an A4 processor. It has an Intel Atom Z3770 processor. Its a very impressive CPU, produces practically no heat and performs exceptionally well for a low powered processor. This processor can handle nearly every desktop application with ease. Its quad core and it handles multitasking very well.

It's good that you asked. From the box it says the requirements are based on a 3.2 GHz processor. I took pictures of the requirements section from the box mine came in. I'll upload them when I get to my pc.

I bought the 3.4 ghz chip. Installed and when system boots I get an error that the current chip isn't compatible. If I continue the PC runs and faster. Think the problem is that the chip 3.4 ghz is dual CPU. E520 bios doesn't support a dual CPU chip. Just my thoughts.

they are different computers. almost the same. I think one has a better processor or ram speed. you should try googling it. If I try to explain the whole thing it would take forever. remember the higher number of processor speed and ram the better. good luck

I'm wondering the same thing. I just ordered one up but before I tear open the box I need to know which processor it has. I ordered it thinking it was an i7.; After I posted this I noticed that they changed description to an i3.

Did you compare the specs closely? You get an i7 Processor running at 2.9GHz and Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz, along with an extra 250GB HD and 4GB RAM. I definitely pay $300 extra for those things.

Everything as expected. Great processor. Do you need any extreme gaming/computing? You got covered ;)Recognized by system as i7-3970X @ 3.50GHz

8 in. Quad core for $160. Couldn't pass it up. I've had it for a couple months now. No problems.

Yes. According to information found on another merchant site this is in fact a trinity core. Which is weird because I have owned this processor for awhile now and never noticed that. For 30$ more you can get the Black edition with over clocking enabled. However both are good processors the black is recommended for gaming

According to the specs, they only came with up to the 2.66 Quad core, but this site says some of them support the 3.0 Ghz Quad core... you should submit your question here and see what they say. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1399948 Make sure to state what form factor your unit is (Mini-Tower, Desktop, Small Form Factor or Ultra Small Form Factor variant)

I have that AMD cpu but, I don't know how well it would suite your needs. Have you tried looking at AMD's website to see the processor's full set of specs? It might provide you more insight.
