    Intel Core i7 2600K - 3.4GHz - 1MB L2 - 8MB L3 vs AMD Phenom II X6 1100T BE - 3.3GHz - 2MB L2 - 6MB L3

    Could someone clarify the following:

    Intel Core 2
    Core 2 Duo
    Xeon
    Xeon Quad Core
    Core i7

    What would the AMD equivalents be? I have no particular reason for asking, I'm just curious.

    Go look at Tom's Hardware cpu comparison charts. They runs tons of tests and list many processors. A great resource for CPU's and VideoCards

    Opteron is the Xeon equivalent as this tends to be for server or other high-end systems.

    Core i7 is Intel's latest architecture so the closest AMD equivalent would be "Phenom II"

    Core 2 Duo would be equivalent to Athlon X2,the both are dual-core,but there are sure some differences in performance
