In our mind, today's biggest winner is AMD's new X3 720 Black Edition. At $145, we would not hesitate for a second to recommend it over Intel's E series dual core processors. With a healthy 2.8GHz operating frequency and the full 6MB of L3 cache on tap, it is a potent performer that even fast dual cores can't compete with. Weighing in at a full $20 cheaper than the E8400's pricepoint, the X3 720 is really a no-brainer.
