    Which of these two is the better processor?

    What do you guys think, which is better in terms of performance and power. The AMD Turion ll Ultra Dual Core or The Intel i5?

    But anyways, the i5 is faster.
    But depending on your uses, you may not need all that extra power, the new Turion II's are still very decent processors (roughly match the Core 2 Duo's clock for clock)...

    So your choice really.

    Core i5 anytime... more power efficient , more powerful and certainly runs less hot.
