The first specification listed for all computer systems on the market tends to be the processor that is the heart of the computer. Usually it will say the brand, model & speed of the processor in the spec sheet, but the promotion knowledge may only list its speed rating. This can make it hard to select how lovely a machine is. After all, processor walking at a specific speed may not run & a different model from the same manufacturer. That is why I have pieced together this list of categories to let you know how functional each processor is.
Outdated Processors
Processors that fall in to this section are usually no
longer in production by the manufacturers & are usually sold in either
budget systems or older refurbished systems. Machines with these processors
will usually take longer to run application & possibly might not even run
numerous applications on the market today. It is best to try & avoid
systems with these processors unless you require making use of a computer for
the basic functions such as word processing & general web browsing.

Budget Processors
These are processors that may or may not be in production
anymore by the manufacturers but are cheap & functional. There are usually
types of processors that will fall in to this section: older high-end
processors no longer manufactured & new low finish budget processors.
Discontinued high-end processors usually provide a better bang for your buck
functionally. While they may have a slightly lower clock speed, their architecture
of the processor tends to let them actually perform better at most computing
tasks than newer budget processors.
- AMD Athlon II X2 240 and Higher
- AMD Athlon II X3 440 and Higher
- AMD Athlon II X4 620 and Higher
- AMD Phenom II X2 545 and Higher
- AMD Phenom II X3 705 and Higher
- AMD Phenom II X4 810
- Intel Core i3-2100 and Higher
- Intel Core i3-530 and Higher
- Intel Pentium E5400 and Higher
- Intel Pentium G6950
- Intel Pentium G620 and Higher
Middle Processors
This is the segment of the market that is probably the best
overall value for your computing dollar. While they are not the quickest
processors on the market, they still perform well in all aspects of computing.
They may not have the total functional lifespan of the highest finish
processors, but the cost to performance ratio tends to outweigh their
longevity.
- AMD Phenom II X4 945 and Higher
- AMD Phenom II X6 1045T and Higher
- Intel Core i5-2300 and Higher
- Intel Core i5-650 and Higher
- Intel Core i5-750 and Higher
- Intel Core i7-2600 and Higher
- Intel Core i7-860 and Higher
- Intel Core i7-920 and Higher
Top of the Line Processors
This is the cream of the crop when it comes to processing
power. In the event you absolutely must have the best thing out there for your
new computer than this is what you require to look at. It will cost you though.
Usually the latest processors from the manufacturer's come at a cost premium of
about double that of the middle processors. While the cost is over double that
of the middle processors, the performance tends to be only about 25-50% more at
the best of times from their counterparts in the middle section.
