My work is upgrading some systems and I'm going to buy a few of their older system for my younger siblings and relatives. So I would like to know in what order are the fastest ones?
Thank you.
- Intel Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz
- Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6400 2.13Ghz
- Intel Pentium Dual Core E2160 1.80Ghz
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5200+ 2.7 Ghz
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ 2.20Ghz

A lot of them are on these charts:

The P4 is way below the others. -
Thanks. Would Win 7 ultimate 64bit work fine on any of them?

The system with the E6400 would be the most likely to work well, but there are other factors to consider. You need to find out if there are suitable Windows 7 drivers available for the motherboard, and that the motherboard will accept 4GB of RAM. Windows 7 64-bit doesn't run efficiently with less than 4 GB of RAM.

Also, which one is better than my CPU? amd phenom X3 8400 2.1

CPU performance isn't a single dimensional issue. Different CPUs can excel at different tasks. You really have to look at the software you run and the way you use your computer, then look at benchmarks that cover those situations. Overall, none of the CPUs you listed is faster than your 2.1 GHz Phenom X3. But there may be specific benchmarks where some of them is faster.

For example, the Core2 Duo E6400 beats your X3 in Lame encoding, but it's the other way around for Mainconcept h.264 encoding.Last edited by jagabo; 5th Mar 2012 at 07:30.

Just tested running #1 against #5 with a database application - a retail POS software.
Under XP pro on #1 and Win 7 32 on #5,, # 5 was clearly way ahead. (5 seconds against 30 opening the app, 30 seconds against 3-5 minutes printing a report.) Running a #1 with Win 7 64, they became dead even.
The app is NOT optimized for either Win 7 OR 64-bit, it only recently was approved for those systems, with no major re-write. The report software has not changed at all in several years. -
I have a P4 ht 3ghz (since 2006) it run just fine with win7x64, trust me on that but if you can get a more recent cpu go ahead

Hyperthreading per se isn't important to Win7. The ability to execute multiple threads simultaneously is, whether it be multicore or hyperthreading. Multicore is preferable to hyperthreading for performance. Eg, a 4 core CPU is faster than a 2 core CPU with hyperthreading (all else being equal). A Pentium D will crush a Hyperthreaded P4.

If amd's Chips were better performing then your statement would be right. (Piledriver FTW)
When more software uses multi cores to their fullest ability then many cores (4+) will become the default choice.Corned beef is now made to a higher standard than at any time in history.
The electronic components of the power part adopted a lot of Rubycons. -

Except that recently <somesite> did a comparison of the 4core AMD chips versus the dual core I3 (comparable selling price) and the I3 was ahead in most benchmarks, the only benchmark where the 4core amd chip did better was video encoding. also the I3 used less power whilst performing better.
Given the circumstances the newer architecture if given proper software will blow away the old one ( one example can dual core modern mobile laptop cpus which usually have frequencies of 1,4-1,8 ghz blow away old prescot 3.0 ghz Pentium 4 mobile as once I had my self? yes they can and will -
