    Should be good, for its price range.

    It may not be better than a similarly-priced Intel I3-2120.

    PassMark - CPU Benchmarks - List of Benchmarked CPUs

    The I3 is a 65W. The Phenom II, 125, which mainly suggests that it's an older design.

    I haven't bought an AMD CPU since the Athlon 64 X2 (Socket 939) days. I'd cheerfully buy another if it offered a performance advantage over Intel (as in the P4 days).

We haven't featured AMD processors in our deal posts very often lately, but AMD's new Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition is a special case. As we discovered in our benchmarks, this chip manages to outperform Intel's popular Core 2 Duo E8400 overall despite having a lower price tag. AMD ships this thing...
