AMD E2-9030 vs Intel Pentium D 3.40GHz

AMD E2-9030 and Intel Pentium D 3.40GHz are both desktop processors listed on PassMark CPU Benchmarks. This page sets their benchmark scores, estimated prices, and specifications side by side using the same source data for both, so the figures are directly comparable.

AMD E2-9030 lists BGA (FT4) and Intel Pentium D 3.40GHz lists no socket, so moving between them is likely to be a platform change. Budget for a motherboard, memory, and cooling as well as the processor.

Sources and data freshness

The retrieval date records when Find Me a CPU collected the source data. It is not a benchmark test date. Prices are USD estimates from the source, converted for other currencies, rather than live retailer offers. Release / first seen means the CPU first appeared on PassMark charts, not necessarily its launch date.

Benchmark scores do not predict frame rates in a particular game. Typical TDP is a specification, not measured electricity use. A matching socket does not confirm motherboard support; check the manufacturer's CPU support list and BIOS requirements.
