Our reader sends in this chart scanned from a local paper. In the chart, the H55 is compared to three other platforms, G41, G45 and GF 9300 running on LGA775 E6550 @2.53GHz while the H55 runs with Pentium G6950 @2.53GHz. The LGA775 systems runs on 2GB DDR2-800 C5-5-5-18-2T while the LGA1156 system runs on DDR3-1066 @C7-8-8-21. Platform : Vista 32bits SP2.
From the chart, we can see that the H55 definitely runs better than the predecessors. When compared to GF9300, it is still slightly behind.

With the Pentium CPU, you seem to get the graphics for free. How much does a GF9300 cost, and is it still worth spending the extra money for the difference in performance?
Maybe if you’re a gamer – but then, wouldn’t you spend at least $100 on a decent graphics card?

Arc:
how much does the new Pentium G6950 cost? it doesn’t come cheap since it’s a new innovation and dont expect to get it at the same price as the similiar clocked E6550, graphic for free?

TMW, you missed that Mhz are not all of the equation. Intel learned that with Pentium 4. A 3 Ghz P4 Dual Core (Pentium D) can be beated by a 1.86 GHz Core 2 Duo, even by a Pentium Dual Core E2200…
This Pentium G6950 sure can beat most of all Core 2 Duos, including ALL o Pentium Dual Core 775 and i’m sure that the powerfull C2D E8xxx series.
