thanks alot for ur quick reply

Not sure, seems it went missing last December : http://www.techenclave.com/community/threads/why-pentium-g2120-not-available-in-india.147546/ . The G2010 was launched at the beginning of this year, and since it was priced cheaper Intel India probably thought it would be a more economical option over the G2120.

But G2120 is comparatively better than G2010

check here >> http://ark.intel.com/compare/65527,71071

Yes nobody's denying its better, but its also ~20$ more. As I said, it was probably the cheaper pricing of the G2010 that prompted Intel India to replace the G2120 in the market with the G2010. If you check, even the older G2120 was selling for the same ~3.5k, so its probably more economically viable for them to sell the cheaper G2010.

oh ok.. thank you so much .Sorry if i was harsh on my words .
And one more doubt i can use same mother board (Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H) for G2010

 

[Crazy_Eddy]

Yeah all those Pentiums are the same series, so should work fine. Gigabyte has it listed as compatible too : http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4150

Is there any processor in AMD which comparably equal to G2120 ?

Well, it has to be based off your requirement, please state the primary use of your computer and we will be able to better guide you.

Mainly for home usage like browsing etc. occasionally i may use it for '3D Max and Auto cad '

but i am in a tight budget>> looking for a CPU and MOBO in 7k

Well, there is the Athlon X2 270, but the Pentium chip is better, unless you want a longer upgrade path, you can get the X2 270 with a decent AM3+ mobo and upgrade to Steamroller.

 

[kalla_maakri]

but the Pentium chip is better.

so i better stick to Intel G2010 right?

I have used amd x2 240 previously and am using g2120 . Video playback is miles ahead of amd x2 240 .Intel is way better and runs cooler . I was using stock on board graphics to compare both boards .

Stick with G2010. Much better than the athlon

If you can increase the budget by 2K you can have better option with a quad core cpu to boot with.

If you are referring to the FX4300, then he will have to spend atleast 2.5k to 3k additional for the combo?

fx 4300 is good but it's also ok to go with fx 4100/4130 which are around 5.8-6k.

Well, the Fx4100/4130 are not 'true' quad cores, they only have 2 physical cores, they are split into 4 modules, the single core performance is weaker compared to the Pentium, since OP's requirements do not entail gaming, I think he would be better off with the intel chip.

 

[topgear]

I know single core performance of fx 4100 sucks but even fx 4300 has the same core and module design.

But with all 4 cores the performance in cad/animation app is almost on per with core i3 cpu.

Have look at sysmark 3d modeling score.
