Here we go, a lot of people asked me to test an Intel Core 2 Quad under recent 3D games with an HD 7970 so here is what I did. Like for the Core2Duo test we published last week, I chose the most popular processor which in this case is the Intel C2Q Q6600...
Anyway stay tuned as I said in our previous article the following CPUs are to follow: Intel Core i7 920Intel Core i7 920 @ 4 GHzIntel Core i5 2500KIntel Core i3 Ivy BridgeAMD Phenom II x6 1090T BEAMD Phenom II x4 970Hey guys, which fight do you want to se...

For a long time, the Q6600 was for a long time Intels entry-level quad-core processor offering, although by entry-level, CPU manufacturers have a tendancy to mean the cheapest of wht can be rather expensive lines.Despite the fact that it has largely b...

The Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Extreme are the most powerful CPUs in Intel's line-up. As the name implies, Core 2 Quad processors all have four physical cores, while the Core 2 Extreme range includes one dual-core processor - the X6800 - as well as the qua...

In real terms, quad-threaded applications are thin on the ground and will be until at least this winter. So, in most cases, this keeps a more or less even pace with its dual-core equivalent the E6600. But in terms of a re-encode/compress test and Stalk...

Please note we have just added the 5400X2 and the E6700 into this review bring a total of 7 CPUs into the article including the Q6600. Its that time of the year again. Your single or even dual core CPU is starting to feel the strain of multi-tasking...

From all the above results, the only reason to buy the Q6600 over the E6600 or the 6700 would be if you do a LOT of encoding, rendering etc etc. The performance boosts for compression/decompression, and encoding is unsurpassed. However, if youre a ca...

By that token the Core 2 Quad Q6600 is a really big deal as it is the first retail quad-core processor to target the mainstream desktop market and to ship with a locked multiplier. But other than that its very similar indeed to the QX6700. Well, OK...
Dual-core processors were a major step ahead of single-core CPUs, but the jury is still out on quad-cores. They’re likely to remain a niche interest until the price drops significantly and while the Q6600 is a step in the right direction it’s...

Loads of power at a discount priceAfter testing the new QX9650 we decided to check out the least expensive quad-core available now, the Q6600. This CPU comes in two flavors with B3 and G0 stepping. The G0 stepping is superior to B3 stepping, because i...
If you need a quad-core now, the Q6600 is the least expensive one out there. Its not that efficient compared to the new Penryn-family, but it costs just the same as an E6850 and is only 60€ more expensive compared to an E6750. For the same price or a...

What’s clear from our experiences is that the Core 2 Quad Q6600 seems to be that new “bang for buck” processor that, with a little bit of overclocking, is going to net you performance that is going to at least match the Core 2 Extreme QX...

A four-core CPU doesnt always offer huge benefits over two cores, but its great for richly multithreaded applications and heavy multitaskers and holds lots of promise for future games. Even if you do lots of video encoding or 3D rendering, or if you...
Four Core 2 processors in one package; tremendous performance on multithreaded applications; great game performance.
Little gain in many applications; expensive; L2 cache not shared between the two Core 2 dies.
At this speed and power usage, we would expect the CPU to cost a couple hundred dollars less than it does. The cost is still outside the mainstream, and power-users are better off springing for the Core 2 Extreme QX6700...
