+1 for Q9000 because it have higher clock.

plus, there is only one game that optimized HT from i7, that is RE5 so far. maybe we gotta wait for a year or two for the HT optimized games to conquers the market. just like C2D vs C2Q era.

i doubt HT will really be popular among games...

dun forget, at least for desktop market, only Core i7 and low end Core i5 has it...

for the rest (high end Core i5, Core i3, Pentium G) dun ve such thing...

AMD dun even bother with it..

so if u re the game developer, u will be spending extra resources juz to cater for, say 10% of the computer users, and out of that, probably less than 50% will buy ur games...

thanks for the info. biggrin.gif

so we can conclude the best type of processor starting from next year is Quad? or some exception for high end C2D?

i would say tri-core is at the sweet spot now...

it's cheaper than quads, but still offer decent multi-core performance...

juz look at Phenom II x3... it's super cheap, and yet can hold against C2Q Q9000 and Q8000...

well, for laptops, no... laugh.gif

but for laptops, i would say dual core is good enuf even for now, since they seldom need to process heavy applications...

yea but since lots of games that optimized Quad will be release by next year, better stick with Quad.

problem with mobile quad is that they consume another 10W more than the dual cores...

considering the amount of heatsink needed for cooling and battery life, it's not really mobile friendly...

imho, dual core will still make up the majority for at least 1 more yr when comes to laptops...

On the flip-side, I doubt anyone getting a quad core in their notebook is thinking about mobility in the first place.

well, that y majority would still be dual... Turion II, Arrandale are the so called next-gen mainstream CPU...

unless quads can go below 40W TDP, i dun see them making up most of the market... probably next yr with 32nm Sandy Bridge would be the day... but by then, AMD would be going for Fusion instead...

+ 1. Performance come first.
bit what Astria said is true. power consumption and the weight of the heatsink will reduce its mobility sweat.gif
