Does this actually have an 8 core processor and how does the AMD processor compare to an intel processor?

John ,I'm no computer whiz but I can say this; The z585 is or has been available with the AMD A6, A8 and A10 processor. I'm running a Z585 with A8 processor along side an HP desk top with equivalent Intel processor. They are at least a match, The Z585 might have the edge. The only problem experienced is backup, but an external hard drive solved that. The Z585 has performed as advertised and the price was right.

This does not have a 8 core processor. Also Amd is good. but i tend to lean towards intel. i can tell you this.. this laptop renders 3d faster than my friends i7. its a good buy.

I don't see much difference between the AMD and Intel processosrs except Intel processors are more expensive. I think you are paying for the name if you get an Intel and AMD in my opinion is just as good.

This is a quad core, not 8 core. Intel typically is a little ahead of AMD in terms of innovation, but at this price level, you probably won't be able to see a difference.

I used this CPU to replace my Pentium D 2.8GHz CPU. My desktop boots faster roughly by about 15 seconds. Also overall its is more responsive. Though its not earth shattering but that was a welcome change to this older desktop. Is it fast? Not very fast but I am happy with this cheap upgrade. Also it depends on which processor you are comparing to.

It needs an amd processor that is am3 or am3+. On the processor you are considering purchasing, check out the socket type... if it says am3 or am3+ you are good.

To be clear, it is four 1.9 GHz A15 cores, and four 1.3 GHz A7 cores. At this time, it will only run four at a time max, the 1.9 or the 1.3, not all eight. So, not eight 1.9 Ghz A15 cores.

The AMD A10-5700 processor is a FOUR CORE processor, but still, for the price, it's a fairly decent computer. Nonetheless, shame on Amazon for misleading the customer.

It does not support AMD FX processors because they are AM3+ socket and this board is FM2+. The AMD A8/ A10 line will work because they are FM2+ socket.

Since this is an AMD motherboard, I will respond with the relevant example: The AMD Accelerated Processing Unit, formerly known as Fusion, is a series of 64-bit microprocessors from AMD designed to act as a CPU and graphics accelerator (GPU) on a single chip. So, this has CPU and Graphics on the same processor.

Intel's Core i7-3517U CPU is 1.9GHz. Amazon has an error in their specifications, so I will submit a catalog correction request.

Yes it is a quad core. http://ark.intel.com/products/71459/Intel-Core-i7-3630QM-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz. However the operating system it comes with is Windows 8.1 and it's the worst piece of CRAP I've ever had to deal with. I would recommend wiping the operating system and using a more stable version like Windows XP or something. :\

It doesn't have an Intel Processor. It has an AMD A10 5757m. It is slightly slower than an i5 but is has better graphical performance. Overall it's pretty solid. I'm able to play a video game on one screen and play a 1080p video on another screen with no problems.

Good day. I have an Asus AMD motherboard with 8 gigs of ram, a FX-8320 Eight Core CPU, two AMD Radeon 7800 Series Video Cards and Windows 8.1 and I have no issues at all. Works rather well.

I really don't know... I mated mine to an AMD FX 8-core 3.0ghz cpu... with 32gig system RAM... don't worry about 'bottlenecks'... -=grin=-

Yes. I installed it with a eight core AMD processor and it works great. Remember that the motherboard and memory must be compatible for type and speed.

Is not an i7, but is good enoughWindows 7 rate this cpu with 7.6 over 7.9However it's better than an amd solution

The truth of the matter is this. All i5 Intel Processors lack hyperthreading. This i7 3770K is a quad core / hyperthreaded processor. This means 4 physical processor cores and each is capable of running 2 threads. This is , in effect 8 processor cores (Threads) running at the same time. This provides an approximate increase in performance of 30%. If your software uses multicore, the benefit is immediate. Is it worth the money to you becomes the question.

The cpu is an Intel mobile i7 series with 4 physical cores and 8 logical cores due to hyperthreading. When it comes to light tasks, the cpu will behave as it has 8 cores.

yes and this processor gives it it's all i threw some heavy games at like dayz and it ran at a steady 30 fps but you have to put the graphics at mid but i would recommend a am3+ soket mother board and somthing like a amd fx-6300 or somthing along those lines but if you are not running a gpu and just running the gpu on the processor then i would get this or the amd a10 but money to price is is a good processor i ran it over the max and overclocked it to 4.8 ghz and on the stock fan that they give you and it ran pretty well but i would put a water cooling system in your pc if your going to overclock yes and this processor gives it it's all i threw some heavy games at like dayz and it ran at a steady 30 fps but you have to put the graphics at mid but i would recommend a am3+ soket mother board and somthing like a amd fx-6300 or somthing along those lines but if you are not running a gpu and just running the gpu on the processor then i would get this or the amd a10 but money to price is is a good processor i ran it over the max and overclocked it to 4.8 ghz and on the stock fan that they give you and it ran pretty well but i would put a water cooling system in your pc if your going to... » Read More yes and this processor gives it it's all i threw some heavy games at like dayz and it ran at a steady 30 fps but you have to put the graphics at mid but i would recommend a am3+ soket mother board and somthing like a amd fx-6300 or somthing along those lines but if you are not running a gpu and just running the gpu on the processor then i would get this or the amd a10 but money to price is is a good processor i ran it over the max and overclocked it to 4.8 ghz and on the stock fan that they give you and it ran pretty well but i would put a water cooling system in your pc if your going to overclock « Show Less
