Core 2 Quad Q6600 vs. Core 2 Duo E6850 - TechAmok
Core 2 Quad Q6600 vs. Core 2 Duo E6850 - [hardware] 04:27 PM EDT - Aug,31 2007 - post a comment
While AMD keeps postponing the launch of their quad-core processors to the
end of this year - beginning of next, Intel Company is offering very affordable
quad-core CPUs from Core 2 Quad family. However,
can Core 2 Quad processors be regarded as a worthy alternative to popular
dual-core solutions?
According to our tests and numerous overclockers' reports online, quad-core
Core 2 Quad Q6600 processors can overclock up to 3.6GHz with proper
air-cooling. In this case they can perform better than Core 2 Duo CPUs
overclocked to their maximum. Moreover, we see this tendency even in those
applications that are not optimized for multi-core processors and that are
getting fewer day by day. As we saw there are very few tasks left, where
overclocked quad-core processors cannot outperform overclocked dual-core CPUs.
They defeat their rivals not only thanks to twice as many computational cores,
but also thanks to twice as large L2 cache. So, we think Core 2 Quad Q6600
seems to be a much more attractive offering these days than Core 2 Duo
E6850.
However, those computer users who do not want to mess with processor
overclocking may think differently. In this case Core 2 Duo E6850 with 25%
higher clock speed performs better in a lot of applications, including
games. Moreover, it is also more economical. As a result, the most optimal
choice for a system working at nominal speeds would depends a lot on the type of
tasks it is intended for.
