What did everyone vote for, the 7600? The 7600x is clearly superior.

Because it's cheaper, runs cooler, and the performance difference is minimal.

Satya, Both processors here are offered at the same price. I've even noticed that in some stores, the 7600x is about 1-2% cheaper than the 7600. The same is true for the 7700 and 7700x chips.

abc, most important 7600x and 7600 r both budget oriented, but 7600 comes with stock cooler, 7600x without cooler cost is significant in this price range
