Since Core i3 530 will listing two weeks later and price is $123, while Athlon II X4 620 current market quotes is only $99, and that at a glance you can see whos cost performance is high. Athlon II X4 620 is not only the better choice now,After Core i3 530 launch, its cost/performance still is bettersrc: http://en.inpai.com.cn/doc/enshowcont.asp?id=7475

| do check out the gaming benchies, which are in favor of raw CPU power of the Core i3, but still, the AMD is clocked 300Mhz lower and can keep up  I have to admit, Athlon II X4 really is quite a bargain and won't be outdated when Core i3 is released

| Both cpu's at equal clockspeed would be more fair imo. Why didn't they test the Athlon II X4 630 |
