AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600 Brisbane vs Athlon X2 7850 Kuma BE

Bokteelo · May 2, 2009

Which CPU is better and why? I had a friend PM me asking because he was a bit unsure about the Kuma I chose for him, and honestly I have no idea aside from the Kuma being a BE CPU that probably overclocks better. It eats more power though.

Kuma is faster. Possibly about 10-15%.

I haven't got solid numbers but 7850 has l3 cache and is a more efficient architecture.

its based on the phenom so it is technicaly a better cpu, its been tweaked from the brisbanes

i dont know cache but ill take a guess and assume there is more cache on the kuma, its cooler and clocks better

has 2 disabled cores

The Kumas are slightly better, however they're not fantastic. I was reading this review on the X2 7850 BE and it gets its arse handed to it by a E7400 :nutkick:

The X2 7850 BE has its purpose but if you are on a budget, but the Phenom II X3 720 BE is the better choice if you want something that is competitive with today's high-end yet still cheap.

E7400 costs $50 more.... not a fair comparison at all.

I don't like the TDP on 7850 BE though.

E7400, 720BE... you guys are suggesting things that are way more expensive lol... I smart thing to do is ask what budget they are on and what parts they have already... we might make a crazily great comp
