AMD has also come up with the Athlon II versions that are same in all aspects as the Phenom II versions. It is also using the AM3 socket and supports the newest DDR3 RAMs. The only difference between them is the L3 cache. Phenom II versions have an extra cache level that is the L3 cache while the Athlon II versions do not. But based on a lot of tech reviews, i found out that L3 cache is not neccessarily important while number of cores matter for processing power. So for budget buyers, the Athlon II is the perfect processor to choose because even the quad-core AMD Athlon II X4 price is less than the Phenom II X3 and X4 versions. Way to go AMD™ !
