Hi Guys
This is my first post to this forum. I want an AMD Athlon II X2 210e CPU (2.6GHz, 45W TDP).So far I am not able to find any info on the availability of the same in India.
I want to build a cheap second rig for my daily computing needs and after some research I think this is the best solution. According to the buying guide here, the recommended solution is a X2 240/Sempron 140, but personally 210e packs in more value for me.
Please tell me where to buy this particular chip. Stores in my city do not stock AMD products.
Please tell me if it is available in the stores in Lamington road/Nehru place/Kolkata or Bangalore. If not I guess I will have to buy it from some US store, and as such please tell me a nice online store that can ship this to India for free. The current prices are hovering around $38.99 so it would not be a bad deal at all considering I can turn it into a Phenom II 910e by unlocking the cores! (the reason why I want this so bad).
The other cores in consideration are :
Athlon 64 2000+ (1GHz, 8W TDP)
Athlon II X2 250u/260u
Due to AMD’s market positioning of these cores they are way above my budget.
Intel has a nice product which is the ATOM line, but the performance is strictly inadequate for daily needs(Usually a little bit of everything, no gaming/HD but some transcoding for my phone and programming on java/visual studio/flash – my current processor is Intel Pentium E2160@1.8-2.4GHz, aftermarket heat sink for quad core, stock cooler) and the higher cpus in the Intel lineup are either costly or do not have that much value in them.
Also the launches in near horizon are not going to affect the positioning of these cores much so there is no point in waiting any further and there is no point of buying a Sempron 140/Athlon 240 if I can get this processor.
Please help.
