Depends...

For mount new machines = Core 2 Quad
For upgrade AM2 or AM2+ machines = Phenom X4

And yes, Core 2 Quad is better than Phenom X4.

Bye.

That's a sweeping statement. Some Phenoms are better than some Core 2 Quads. AMD tends to be equal or better value in the price ranges where their processors are.
