Are you serious? Ok then, here is the first search result I did of Core i3 2100 benchmarks. Though it doesn't compare 2100 to the Phenom II X2, it compares it against a QUAD CORE Phenom II X4 955 because...well, even THAT lost to this dual core processor. And this time Windows and all things were same. You're just trying to deny the facts here. Fanboy much?

If anyone still doesn't believe me, go google yourself because I am tired now. :P

EDIT: Oh, and as for your overclocking argument, instead of buying $30 cooler for overclocking your AMD, you can spend that $30 to get a higher factory clocked Intel processor so now your overclocked AMD loses again (and that without voiding your warranty and lower power AND potentially lower noise).

There is not much truth into that either. Intel is not trying to compete in the APU on desktop market with AMD to begin with. Secondly, your comparison isn't fair. Here is a similarly priced Intel combo for desktop that will eat your AMD APU combo for lunch...

Intel Pentium G620 Sandy Bridge $70
BIOSTAR H61MGC LGA 1155 $50
MSI Radeon HD6670 $75

As I said, it is hard to recommend any AMD product these days. It loses on every front to Intel.

Pentium G620 is a latest Sandy Bridge-1155 processor. Meaning it can be installed on any SB board that supports the Core I-X series. >_>

Oh, it gets even more cheaper. I was just showing you a $120 processor for reference. Here is a $70 processor that just embarrasses that same AMD processor as well:

Intel Pentium G620

And again, benchmark comparision.

Right now, only a die hard AMD fanboy would be fool enough to buy one of their processors.

EDIT: And what are you sorry for?

Intel Core i3-2100

And benchmark comparision

Notice how it beats AMD by very good margins.

AMD has been beaten at its own game by Intel for a while now.
