dont ya think getting a P II 555 BE and then unlock will be a better option?Karthi007 said:Plz state ur needs. Then ppl will suggest accordingly.
If gaming the PhenomII X3 is better.
If regular work stuff then the AthlonII X4 is better. Btw consider the new AthlonII X4 635(2.9Ghz). It sells for Rs.5150/-

mate,
first be clear about your needs from a cpu, if for general usage & gaming is important go for phenom 2 555BE extra cache will be helpfull in gaming,
if you do video a lot of encoding, 3d rendering etc go for athlon 2 X4 also now a days games are being optimized for multicore cpus too.
bear in mind if you are planning to buy a phenom2 555 & plan to try ur luck with unlocking now is the best time for it.

Everyone is suggesting Phenom2 555 as if AMD has guaranteed that you just need to unlock the cores and be happy with a quad core and they have put up a sure shot step by step guide to do so on their official website. If you are not able to get the cores unlocked you can sue AMD for all of their earnings this year .:rofl::rofl:
No one can be sure about the locked cores whether they are just disabled or they are not working at all.
Man I would sugest to go for AthlonII X4 635 if you are casual gamer Or else Phenom 2 X 3 720 (and try your luck on 4th core unlocking).

Re: Amd 620 x4 or phenom 2 720 x3
mate,
i agree with you when you say that no one can garuntee unlocking of disabled cores,
but still i would reccomend an phenom 2 X2 over a low end quad like athlon x4, simply because of the higher default clock speed & higher cache memory.
more over you have a very high chance of unlocking the disabled cores now then ever before., remember phenom 2 x2 & x3 were not intented to manufactured by design, they are only phenom x4 with faulty cores which did,nt scaled up properly & hence sold as dual & tri core cpus. but over the time yields have improved drastically and today AMD has no option for phenom 2 dual cores but they might very well be selling quads with cores disabled to work as phenom 2 .
hence ifk i were to buy a quad core or dual core with a budget of 5k i would wisely choose an phenom2 x2, even if it does not unlock you are left with a powerfull dual core & woulnt be complianing about same.
