QUOTE(hazairi @ Jan 28 2008, 04:35 AM) But in the future, I'll bet the designers will write a game which utilizes multi-core processor. Plus, multi-core uses lower power. It already happened.  And no, multi-core CPUs uses more power than a single-core. Don't give me the comparison of a Wolfdale processor to a Netburst architectured P4. If you want to compare, just go ahead and look at Pentium D(not the Allendale based) consumption power under load. |

QUOTE(tkh_1001 @ Feb 12 2008, 01:42 AM) guys..a noobie question here... what if we were to compare dual and quad at the same clock? e.g: e6850 and q6600 both @3.2ghz...which one will give better performance? Multimedia apps(mostly) and multi-tasking = Q6600Gaming and raw performance apps = A close one between the Q6600 and E6850, too identical to call a performance difference really. The extra cache on the Q6600 may help in certain games, as well as the extra cores will also come into play for games which utilize multi-core CPU usage. Of course, the E6850 will run significant cooler and consume less power. This post has been edited by SSJBen: Feb 12 2008, 06:10 AM |
