  • I have the Q6600 and it easily runs ported games like Skyrim at 60 fps.

  • Hey guys I Intel Core i7 Quadcore processor , but its clocked at 1.73 ghz , can it run bf3

  • LMFAO!! WHO THE HELL IS THIS GUY! LOGAN SAVED THIS COMPANY! LOL

  • @NocredRS Have you ever heard of no one uses them besides servers, and supercomputers. Plus there is no need to have 2 CPU's on one motherboard for gaming.

  • @NocredRS As I said not all the tri cores had a faulty core, Most of them did not, and there is no reason to have such as fast CPU as the GPU always keeps up with the CPU, intel does not yet make a 8 core processor.

  • @NocredRS They were fully quad cores and all the 4 cores worked and not all the triple core phenoms 1 core was faulty, it could be enabled thru the bios.

  • @NocredRS All of the core 2 quads were like that, it was an inefficient design that meant the cored could not communicate with each other directly and had to use the l3 cache to communicate while at the time the only quad cores that were actually quad cores were AMD phenoms.

  • @NocredRS Not a true quad core

  • lol quad core, more like 2 dual cores on 1 die.

  • I am going to get a new computer soon as soon as windows 8 comes out (im going to get windows 7 though). Should I get a quad core processor with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 TI (or probably newer but depends on the price). Can someone tell me is this worth it or I could just buy a reasonable graphics card and a Dual-Core processor? I really need a good computer that can handle games, 3D software, and has high definition compatible drivers. Can please help me I can't make up my mind!

  • amd = more cores

    intel = more speed

    nuff said

  • Does the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 support DDR3 133Mhz RAM?

  • Quad core whore is my kind of gal.

  • I'm not impressed by multi core processors. Back in 2000 intel said they would release 10ghz processors in 2011. All we have is bad programming in video games because of all the unnecessary features that having a multi core processor brings. I want to play video games that look more amazing and I don't want to have to deal with applications and games like GTA IV that were improperly coded due to the complexity of the cpu architecture. Also I would like to see sli support as well as crossfire.

  • @hockeyhatesgooglnow I Bet You Were 1 in 2000

  • i love my quad i can play GTA IV and MW2 at the same time and no skippin love the power but i now got a i7 and its FaSTER than lightning LOL

  • i love my quad i can play GTA IV and MW2 at the same time and no skippin love the power

  • as it turns out cores and speed matter in the future

  • I imagine guys. This show went from a group of people hired/sponsored by TirgerDirect, introducing new products, all the way to a serious technology news studio.

  • old

  • PC Tech is getting soo crazy that many pc software vendors are just now making their software Dual Core capable let Quad Core capable and now we are talking about 6 cores that will soon be released...

  • Wow, four cores. =D

  • LOL

  • Woot, 2006

  • just imagine in 3 to 5 years Time, i bet their will be 12 core processors around

  • the new i9s have 6 cores and with hyperthreading thats 12 cores

  • @TurboHertz Not thats 6 cores with 6 "VIRTUAL" cores or threads. You can not create something that is not their to begin with.

  • @TurboHertz Theres no such thing as a i9 yet the closest to it they have is a 980x i7

  • Six next year, I just wonder what the heck they will be like in ten years.

    Back in 2000, with the P4 coming out at 1.4 and 1.5 GHz with 400 MHz FSB and 256 MB Cache I was like WHOA.

  • fuck i hate this bald ass hole he's such a douche bag

  • i7 rocks this shit

  • ummm.. u think?

    no shit man this was release in 06 haha lmao ur a really smart guy and not it does not rock this i own an i7 and if u over clock this thing it will pown but if u over clock the i7 then it will

  • cmon dude, this video is almost 4 years old. In 4 more years the i7 will be shit (no offense)

  • that is so true

  • this CPU was discontinued and is the same as the Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66GHz

    so then they made the Core 2 Extreme QX6800 2.93GHz

  • haha wooooooooooow they were a thousend dollars!!!!!!!!!! the top of the line quad core intel CPU is only like 250 haha

  • some fat asshole fucking selling Intel bull shit lintels a ri off how many fucking times do i need to upgrade this year i mean really fuck i just bought a new computer 4 months ago now i need a new core fuck u

  • ? chill man , i bought my q6600 back in 2007 , and still have it and still performs fast enough to play all modern games ,

  • even dual cores can play pretty much every game...

    Quad Core Desktop CPU's are gonna be around for a long time, and they are very "future-proof"

  • indeed , thats why my old q6600 is only £20 cheaper than it was TWO years ago , kept its value very well

  • @girlsdrinkfeck I have that same cpu and im looking into upgrading to a core i7 next year

  • why?

  • Im waiting for Core 2 Octo...!

  • Why would they go back to Core 2 architecture. Everything is Core iX know.

  • uuhhhh made in 2006?

  • yea, might want to watch the new ones, LOL.

  • the consumer will only have 4 cores in the future can you hear me?

  • who's him???

  • I have a Quad core but I wish intel would hurry up and release an 8 core cpu.

  • why

  • The 8core Xenons are alredy out!!! but one costa 1500 pounds

  • pshh.. get Core i7

    :P

  • thay have made a 80 core proto tybe already.. 80x2 ghz!!! owns i7 totaly

    tho no normal person can buy it yet..

  • damn forreal? i feel outdated.. lol

    btw.. so if normal person cant buy it.. then who's using it? o.O

  • the goverment in USA.. to test medical stuff and weapons xD

  • haha thought so..

    but is that a bug jump from i7? o.O

  • a bug jump?? do you mean a big jump?? anyways.. don't feel outdated with your quad core xD i only got duel core xD i don't think it's a big jump from i7 cause we probably won't get it befor 2050 xD

  • oops lol yea i meant a Big Jump.. lol

    i love Quad Core but i7 is awesome too lol

    im thinking of getting another PC with i7 or something..

    and damn.. 2050 sounds too long.. :O

  • My cousin got his Quad for free because one of his friends works at Intel, and I'm still stuck with a little single-core. LOL

  • lololololololoolloolollolololo­lol...i stuck with my dual core shit lol...

  • get 8

  • QUAD CORE!!!!!!!! WOW!!

    RULEZ!

  • even my intel core 2 duo 2.2 g, 4g ram, 1g 7300GT runs GTA 4, crysis,.

  • guys

    does my f672cr mobo support this?

  • i got the core 2 quad Q6700 @ 2.66

  • how is it?

  • itttsss awsomee.... itts nice... i luv it itts fast... and doesss alll the work..

  • I looked at the price for the Q6600 through Q9's and decided on the i7 instead, boy am I glad I spent a few more dollars on the new mobo and 920, it chews even the Q9's clock for clock up for breakfast and spits out AMDs.

  • i just bought a intel core 2 quad Q9550 2.83GHz 4GB ram 250GB HDD 512 graphics card its a monster l8rz

  • ive orderd a comp wid Intel Core 2 Quad processor, 4 GB RAM GeForce 9800 GT 512 mb is that good ? reply please

  • Yeah that is pretty good, as long as you are not a big gamer.

  • That's actually perfect if you're a big gamer. I have a Core 2 Duo 6GB RAM 9800GT and even the most demanding game on the market like Crysis runs fine.

  • it's not perfect but it'll run everything, it will struggle a little on gtaiv and prob 09-10 games.

  • then what you suggest?

  • i got 4GB RAM Nvidia brand! brand new! 10 united states dollars. best bargain ever. at tigerdirect :p

  • Its like 2.4 ghz*4 you can play every game thats out on the market and u can have it for like 4-5 years before its getting old . You can see that gta4 requres 1,7 ghz*2=3,4ghz an d the quad is like 9,4 ghz so the answer is yes u can play gta4.

  • can you play gta 4 with this processor?

  • absolutely =)

  • I play it with a:

    Pentium 2 Processor OC'd to 0.2GHz (fastest freaking processor)

    And i use graphics from my memory.

  • lol man

  • hell to the ya

  • i gt intel celeron d inside, can i upgrade dat to intel pentium dual core, plz help, i really want to upgrade it, and wat difference doz it make, if u hav diferent intels???, plz answer asap!!, thx

  • I don't believe the sockets will be the same. You will probably need to buy a new motherboard and new RAM if you would like to use the processor.

  • vistahelper, some celeron D have the same socket as Core 2 quad, the socket is socket P, hopefully you have that one

  • ...?

  • $999...lol more like $125

  • hahaaha

  • hwahawahahwhawhaahahahah

  • mmm, does games like like DIRT from middle supported the use of all the cores?

  • this guy sounds like randy from backstage

  • I wonder what this guy thinks about skulltrail motherboards with dual quad-core's, 8 cores! omgzlul

  • how many cores does quad core have???

  • LOL!

    4 cores, are you stupid or what?

  • no i am not

  • Really? your not stupid but you dont know that quad means 4......

  • exacly

  • how do you not know that quad means 4?

  • simple english is not my main language i learnd but not 100% good at it yet

  • well then... im sorry for being an asshole

  • yay another high wattage powerdraining atx desktop microwave room and body cooker processor for your oven and cooking needs, but wait, you can also use it in computer! dandy!

  • lol.

  • oi!

    this one too expensive....than core to dua and pentium d

    for student like me...

    dont have lot of money....

    its like..

    buggaty veron and toyota supra...

  • now its like $189

  • 1:00-1:05 newspaper of the future.....xD

  • any concept imperfectly created will be limited by the magnitude of its imperfections

    the imperfection in the case is

    the processors heat and power envelope

    the more watts & heat it generates the more

    limited, faulty, and unstable it is.

  • only time will tell

    just say both are important in the future or something omg !!

  • intel quad core = overheating / expensive power drainage / annoying loud fans / inefficiency / unnecessary overkill processing /

    unfairly overpriced.

  • HUNDELAYBAY89=know nothing about computers/just pretending you know shit but you suck/ probably can't afford one/ will be more efficient than your face when all software will support quad-core/doesn't overheat, even with the cheapest cooling device.

  • Games are still doing fine with an Intel Core 2 Duo but when games start requiring a fucking quad, that's when I'm getting my ass to newegg and buying one.

  • Hi buddy

  • is there a diffrence between a Core 2 Quad and Quad core I looked online and a Core 2 Quad is like $250 a quad core is like $1000 what is the diffrence??

  • well, one hs 2 cores, and one has 4?

  • u need more ddr2 ram maybe 2 mbit ram

    and cpu will go down and 4 mbit ram is perferct

  • Intel pissing me off wheres the q9450 have just spent all my cash on x48t, 2 3870x2's, DDR3, Case, 3 Terabyte storge but bloody cpu ordered is still not here :( aaarrrrrhhhhh

  • lucky you guys..i got intel p4 3.07, 3.06 ...getting old

  • Newegg kicks tigers ass in the amount of processor selection!

  • i cant order from newegg cuz im in canada and i find that tigerdirect is much better

  • My Q6600 G0 runs at 3.6GHz using air cooling.

    3.6x4=14.4GHz.

    But, such a number is really meaningless if you run a single threaded application with some heavy "for"/"while" loop or other processing of a pile of sequential data. In such not so unusual case you gain nothing really!

    Quad Core is better but the gained performance is much more software design dependent than what we've experienced with the clock speed improvements.

  • yes but you reduced your FSB !

    so your system is probably SLOWER

  • LOL, my FSB is running at 1600MHz!

    It's absolutely not slow.

  • yes...but it can also be, a hat

  • i haf 4x 3,6 Ghz tahts coooooool dammit !!!

  • if you know overclocking inside and out.. get a thermoelectric CPU cooler and get the 280 doller intel quad core at 2.4 GHZ stock. as for AMD ones. they are good too. its really the gamers choice. i choose intel cuase of compatibility and price.

  • quad core = 2x4 mb cache , mhz dosnt mean much anymore

  • core quad 4 x3,0 Ghz is beter lool :D

  • so i am sorry for my fucking poor english .. buy = by

  • gentelmen , Fuck pc , that first , then , what the fucking reason to get fuckin 4 cores to start a fuckin msn messenger & go to sport forum to write fucking comment , buy the way i am really really get sick when i faced the fucking usb pc controllers at any fucking pc store . just think about great hardware with cheep controller , Sixaxis is my friend

  • guys which one is better for gaming??

    core duo 2x 3,6 Ghz or

    core quad 4 x3,0 Ghz

  • of Corse a Quad-Core is better

    3,6x2=7,2

    3x4=12GHz!!!!

  • dude, you can't say it in that way...the 4 cores works together, they are not 1 as you say : 3x4=12 Ghz...you where wrong, they are not 1, there are 4 cores that work, so it can be : quad core 2,4Ghz and duo core 2,66Ghz

  • Man, With 4 core, 4 informations pass each one in a core. If you have 4 core working at 3ghz, It's same to have 1 working at 12ghz. cause this informations will pass at the same speed in a 1 core with 12ghz than a 4 cores wolrking at 3.0

    I've had your opinion, but I read it on the intel's site

  • lol , it all depends if the app your running can use multiple cores :D as im sure most of you know, multi cores works same way as 4 bricklayers can build a house faster than 1 at the same speed

  • You wrong man, lets say that you ride on horse and the horse running 12 km/h and then you will ride on two horses so it os not gonna be like two hosres running 24 km/h they will run together on 12 km/h

  • Yeah but, if you have a game with 4 instruction passing each one in each core i think its the same if this informations pass in just one core with more speed

  • Alright, nice example. Let's look at it in the long run, you have four guys trying to ride on horse from point A to B. They each have to ride on the horse one at a time(and lets say the horse is smart enough to head back alone) It would take four times as long as four horses with four riders.

  • I agree with lollipop2kewl, I want more speed too. How long before we get an instant desktop?

  • More Cores or more sped? well. i think they should make them both. BECAUSE I DONT NEED MORE CORES. I NEED MORE SPEED.

  • will this beat the Xbox 360?

  • yea xbox cant match comps nowadayz

  • Xbox360 uses a triple-core design based on quite old technology compared to the fresher generation multi-CPU technology used for PCs.

  • Hey i got a Core 2 Quad Q6600

  • Lucky you does it really make your pc work amazily fast. What about gaming and all the other stuff is it worth having??

  • it goes hipper fast. you don't need to wait for anything. it runs vista with blasting speeds. when i shut down, i wait about 5-10 seconds. i have a 8800gts and games run at full specs with no problem, in windows vista that is well known for consuming more cpu and ram.

  • and already the new 45nm yorkfield is commming out soon....so fast.

  • wait till AMD Quad Core come's OUT!!!!!!!!

    next year :) it will kickass than lntel lol

    ....

  • lol amd sucks!

  • intel invented the processor, x64 architecture, dual core, and quad core, and a lots more .... intel is the mother of cpus. i hope they will call the next amd "the quad BBQ amd"...cuz is so stupid, it doesn't even have a heat protection, you take off the cooler, you need to call the firefighters

  • But still AMD has always had better processors throughout history, AMD Athlon 64 killed everything Intel had in its time, AMD Dual-Core killed the Intel equlents everyday, AMD have been the ones to fix Intels mistakes and make things to work fully. Intel didn't innovate 64-bit processor technology. AMD has just been slow-moving the last year.

  • yeah...then why the quad core has those blasting speeds no processor has. AMD - ass mounted deca-fecala:)). amd is always copying what intel does. don't compare honda to cadillac...or ati to nvidia

  • AMD innovates the technology Intel did wrong. 64-bit, all thanks to AMD, actual performing CPUs... well, that's AMD too. AMD has always been ahead of Intel talking about performance. We'll see about the Phenom X2, X3 and X4 and see what you can bullshit with then. Also the 8800GTS gets raped by the 2900XT everyday, don't be an idiot.

  • well...stick to amd! :P ...and who knows, maybe i'll get one too, cuz my BBQ is kinda out of fuel.

  • That joke is for Playstation 3, not AMD. You'll see the Phenom X3 and X4 will operate cooler and more effective than the Intel Quads.

  • ha.... AHAHAHAHAH Fuck Amd its Shit

  • Amen.

  • FUCK AMD INTEL IS THE SHIT

  • amd cpu are way faster and better cause they process faster than intel

  • ehhh.. do u know anything? Intel is nowadays much faster

  • hmm yeah.. now my opinion is that amd SUCKS

    why because i got the intel core 2 duo

    i compared it

  • Yeah, AMD is a SHIT, Intel are the name for the processors

  • did you dreamed about that last night? like i said in another comment, intel is the mother of cpus

  • amd's is goin to be better

  • and by the way, I DO drink milk, which has calcium, but it's glucoside carbohydrates are nothing without the base of the Vitamin D, bet you don't even know why, seriously, don't talk about milk if you don't even know what it is :/ it's great for you, dumb boy.

  • the quad is out too buy.

  • the ps3's processor is still about 3 times faster than this lol :P

  • LOL PS3 Processor is faster?? man teh 8800 GPU By Nvidia is faster than PS3.. the intel processor is the FIRST quad processors for multi tasking.. and it's a beast for games.. just want to tell you PC is the No.1 gaming platform on earth XD

  • *sigh* dear god little boy .. a GPU is a graphical processing unit.. a processor is what solves the arbitrary and program codes given by the RAM... go learn something little boy.. bye

  • LOL! what did I said is wrong.. i said the 8800 GPU is faster than PS3 and the intel Q6600 or Qx6700 is a beast for games LOL i mean how much better the gaming consols will be THE PC will be better faster and more enjoyable.. so go drink your milk little boy and UNDERSTAND what people telling you

  • u idiot the ps3 processor is faster. Its a fucking cell processor. Anyways nvdia made the gpu for the ps3 u dumfuck and tell me this. In graphic terms, which is better the ps3, or the pc. ps3 thank you. By the way im not a fanboy i think the pc is better than the ps3

  • EH! again! PS3 using what? 1920x1080p right? it's a TRUE HD right? PC is up to 2560x1600! thats XHD! do you know what X stands for? No gaming console on earth can Beat the PC it' upgradable.. 2 of the 8800 GPU's in SLI mode or the R600 GPU's in Crossfire with a really high end CPU smokes any console.. and Nvidia gives sony the GPu same as ATi with Microsoft.. and this Line is a FACT! "No.1 Gaming Platform is PC"

  • It all depens on what PC your talking about yes the cell prosessor kicks quad cores ass but if the pc has 2 quad cores (Apples Mac Pro) Which hads 2 Intel Xeon quad core prosessors. also the cell prosessor is the main reasion that many games will not be brought out for the ps3.

  • um..consoles are slow tho... in a year they cant be compared to pc's.

  • no in terms of graphics the pc is better because you can upgrade the graphics..there are already dx10 graphics cards out which are way better than dx9 in the ps3. the ps3 will get old in 1-2 years in terms of graphics since in the comptuer world something new comes out every few months.

  • isn't the PS3's GPU equal to a 7800GTX I'm not sure can someone confirm this I would like to know

  • yeah and Nvidia gave sony the GPU.. and it's equal to the 7900 GPU's sure it's faster but it dosen't support features as the G80 GPU's PC no.1 xD

  • they gave them the 7900 gt not GTX

  • This CPU its totally pointless now for a regular user. The only reason for someone to get it is to say hey i got the QX6700 and to get in someones face with it... it will take time for games to get the full benefit of using the 4 cores. This CPU is only for people who do a lot of rendering and 3d animations and so on... The price of this unit will drop a lot next year just wait and you will see.

  • Hey is the QX6800 better then this?

  • QX6800 is not even out yet... but yeah it will be better and the price of QX6700 will drop

  • the quad is out too buy.

  • yea i am just going to stick with my pentiumD 3.4ghz

  • Do u know, that even the cheapest conroe can out run a AMD athlon fx-62?
