Axicraw 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2010 Hey guys I'm about to buy a new pc. I'm working on max and after effects. I'm worried which processor to choose. AMD has launced there 6 core on AM3 socket which will support the forth coming bulldozer(hexacore). Or shall i opt for i7 930. on price-wise amd mobo is cheaper than intel. I also use my sys for redering. I'm really confused. also recommend me a best value gpu(professional). Thanks a lot... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 930 is faster than the 920, and you can easily...easily bump it up to 3.2ghz with the stock cooler. Which would hands down beat the x6 1090t. 930's are about $20 cheaper to buy online than the phenom. You would probably pay a little less for the AMD build...but not much that it would matter. You could also upgrade to the 6 core i7 when it gets lower in price. Personally...Im about to buy a new rig, and im getting a 930 with 12gb of ram. But if you want to upgrade easier go with the AMD.

Beaver 1 Report post Posted June 19, 2010 I wouldn't sweat the decision too much, both are great processors. I'd go with whatever works best for your budget & upgrade plans. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
