@ 2010/11/19There appeared to be quite a lot of processors in the mainstream price segment, but it is not that hard to single out the most successful ones. Our extensive tests showed that all models split into several performance groups quite clearly, so it is fairly easy for us to put together a list of recommendations for those who look to buy a CPU in the $100-$200 ballpark.
First of all, I have to stress one more time that LGA775 platform is a past stage of the computer evolution. Secondly, just like during our Value CPU performance research, we can’t help drawing your attention to the success of Socket AM3 processors. Thirdly, we can’t leave the LGA1156 platform unnoticed. There are quite a few interesting options for this platform available today.
The today’s fastest mainstream processor is undoubtedly Intel Core i5-750. With two pretty fast cores and Turbo Boost technology support this LGA1156 CPU demonstrates high performance in resource-hungry applications, as well as 3D games.
