Choosing Processors for Desktop Replacement

For a machine standing in for a desktop, the multi-core performance held under a long load decides, not the peak clock. The power envelope, the number of memory channels and the power the cooling can carry make more difference in this class than the chip's name. Remember that the same processor is sold at different power limits.
