Define a budjet processor.

[Shenkoa]

Budjet is opinion, some say a $300 processor is budjet while others say a $200 processor is budjet. But it all depends on how much money you are willing to spend for a processor.

When do you think a processor no longer becomes budjet.

Oops... I meant > $150 is no longer budget. Imagine a high school student who knows nothing about computers but wants one to surf and write reports.

sempr0ns and Celeron Ds are value chips. everything else is mainstream or enthusiast chips.

I agree. And even some of those are really mainstream chips.

So you would consider a Sempron 3100+ a budjet chip but not a NC 2800+?

based on the replies, it looks like people are voting on the price OF a budget processor, not at what price they are NOT a budget processor any more.

 

[Shenkoa]

Yeah I think so to.

a budget proc. for me is in the $150 range

Imo a budget processor is a sub 100 dollars processor. Anything over 100 dollars and its not budget but mainstream
