What is the best bang for the buck?

 

[SHAWN]

San Diego core because of the 1mb cache

 

[jseber1982]

yup, what shawn said

 

[toxicity_27]

I would also have to say the San Diego core. That and the Venice are the new chips, and one of the differences between the two is that the San Diego has 1MB cache.

 

[kelp]

The third one.
