New Computer ! :D

If you are referring to efficacy power: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/pcs...investigated/1 this study concluded that watt for watt Intel is better...

hell I was right, the graphs also show that the Phenom II is more powerfull then the i3 :P

Considering the Mobos for that cost 100$ and the CPU costs 100$ also, I think that the power you save is rather insignificant
It uses the same amount of power on idle, just uses more on full load. who puts a quad core on full load? I hardly do that with my Pentium unless im converting a video, even then the speed of such a processor means it takes less time to do it


hmm didnt put the Mobos into my logic above.

Well only the most powerful AMD was more efficient and I think that one cost more than an i3 also he said no budget so it should not matter. I mean logically with no budget the only option is the one I am posting above.

With no budget I would go get NASA to build me something. Or ask the pentagon what it did with all those PS3 cells, and get one of those.

Actually a supercomputer was built with the parts listed above except they used 7 gpus instead of 4 since they were not using sli. there's actually cost less money but was less powerful in many aspects as it was built for processing 3d xrays. This systems power and processing capability once configured is unmatched even by low level supercomputers. Also if you were using a node system which is how the ps3 thing works you can just 2x or 4x ect the above config and put it in a node config and then you would have a real computer computer. In fact if you did not care about gaming and only computation as your suggesting in your post a simply motherboard switch for one with 2cpu slots and 2x the ram slots will be better than any config your suggestions can match. This is logically short of using intiam parts or other equipment that is highly specialized. At this point though you will need a custom linux version to make it work and even custom fraimware/bos. My suggested config is the best all category system for sub $15,000.
