AMD PHENOM 9850 2.50GHz Black Edition

 

Hi all
My question is that I would like to know if it would be worth upgrading to
the phenom 9850 CPU from my AMD 6400 Black Edition CPU, If so would I notice
much change in my games or benchmarks.
Thanks in advance
Neil

Single or double thread, the 6400 will be faster. More than 2 threads, the
4 core will be faster. IOW's, you'd need to benchmark every app under all
conditions to really find the answer. Have a look at benchmarks here.
