  • or you could get the AMD Athlon II X3 455 Rana and unlock the fourth core to save some money

  • ATI 8 core - sounds good

  • @Antiam12 No, sounds bad. Don't get me wrong, it's working alright and all, but an Intel i5 2500K (four cores @ 3,2GHz) is better than the Bulldozer FX-8120 which runs at 3,1GHz. Imagine then how much better an i7 970 (six cores @ 3,2GHz) or an i7 3960X (six cores @ 3,9GHz) would be.

  • i have i3 2130M and i play cod4 like im using a calculator

  • I have an i3 550 and I played bf 3 with good performance

  • i use 6 core xD

  • @catchmefoo777 BUT,do YOU download HARDCORE?

  • my plans are playing "Kick Ass" games, video rendering, music recording and the rest is average people use. im having a hard time deciding between i5 2500k and the new fx 6 core amd processors. should i go with more cores and are these two generally about the same. im assuming amd is still the better bang for the buck as its always kind of been in the past. help please and thanks

  • how about core 2 duo?

  • @MrAhmedUA what is this, 2007?

  • @JakkIsBakkInBlakk core 2 duo 3

    6 mb cashe

  • Great Videos

    

  • hai guys.. i'm new here. can u help me to give point to my pc motherboard msi p55 gd80 processor core i7 870 ram corsair dominator 1600mhz cl8 4gb gpu asus 4870x2 2gb 512bit tri fan Corsair h50 mod to pure water hard disk 1tb 64mb psu everest 800watts +80 moduler casing corsair graphite 600t Acer Led 23inch Speaker sonic gear blue thunder iiv
  • Quad core is your best bet by now. Some people choose to have 6 cores, but for now that's a bit useless. For a quad core processor: Desktops should have around 4 Ghz for top notch gaming performance, and laptops should have 2.0-2.9.

  • Quad Core for Battlefield Bad Company 2

  • i have six-core... am I better?

  • Depends on the game

  • quad for better graphs and dual for better speed

  • @Drake98gaming cpu has nothing to do with graphics. all graphics is rendered by the graphics card.....

  • wow you look like morgan from supersize me...

  • i was thinking of buying an acer aspire laptop. is has AMD Phenom II Quad Core prosessor. is that going to be god for gaming ? like for cod and such games

  • I'm going to up grade my Duo core E8500 to Quad core Q9650, but the price has almost not changed. WTF! Can get the I7 for same price and it's like 5 stages ahead of the Q9650. Intel drop the prices to match the times PLEASE! LOL!

  • lol i dont know about any of this stuff. its awesome tho

  • He knows his shit

  • bro..is intel core i5-2500k better than other i5 series such as....2500,2500t,2500s....for gaming only?

  • @jeggeggo

    ITS GREAT FOR GAMING AND MULTITASKING

  • which would be better?

    x6 1090T or x4 965?

  • @akshaymohan24 not a huge difference between them,but i would go for 1090t

  • 6 cores released :)

  • i have a pentium 2 duo and its laggy for sc 2 im thinking about i5 is that any good? but those quad cores sound epic! how much are they? and are they any good for starcraft 2?

  • @beefymcmanst1c yeah man they are great but you might want to upgrade your gpu aswell. you could aslo get a phenom ii quad core and save a few bucks.

  • @brandonio91 ya i know my laptop is effing weird i tried to pull it apart my self but i have to take the sides off without snaping them.... so i'll just leave it to the pros lol

  • @beefymcmanst1c Man if you really want performance go with a i7 intel processor.

  • Ok so i want a sager NP5160 to play modern games (post 2009) on medium settings at decent framerate, but also need to keep battery life over 3 hours, which is better, a higher clocked dual core i5-2520M, 2.5-3.2GHz, or lower clocked i7-2630QM, 2.0-2.8GHz? will i see a good improvement on games by going quad? will it be a real drain on battery life? what if i upgraded the card later (sagers let you do that) would that kill battery life? thx for your advice :)

  • Intel Core i7 960 extreme edition 6x 3,4 gigahertz Or so xD

  • at 2008 was Phenom II X4 965 but at 2010 Phenom II x6 1090t is the best for gaming

  • Far cry 2 only uses 1 core:( 1.5 at max :p

  • more cores= better efficiency at processing multiple threads; that said, more cores is really only better if any particular application sends more processing threads to the CPU, of which, more and more applications are doing these days. So in conclusion, a CPU with more cores will GENERALLY outperform a cpu with less cores but a higher clock speed (e.g. phenom x6 1050t > phenom x4 965)

  • Which is best for games ( Quad or hexa core) ??

  • Athlon II quad cores run less than $100 and work well for gaming.

  • the benefit of multi-core quickly peters out in more general useage - of course there will always be a minimal percent that benefit from them - should we all be 'forced' to buy them because of the hard-core? if intel/AMD endofline dual-core purely so they can make some radical claims in a quad core benchmarks, does that/will that benefit the masses? Will it be the same when they are encouraging us to buy 32cores, when the 8 core dinorsaurs still run internet exploder 10 happily enough?

  • Dual Core for me! The only games I play on my pc are emulators!!!!!!!

  • Hexicore Bitchez!!!!

  • so some thing like a q6600. i dont want to got for a new system yet because when intel reliese the tec next year the 15 price will drop.

  • @hotpot71 15 = i5

  • The more cores the better but make sure you have an acceptable frequency.... having 100000 cores at .00000009mhz does you no good lol

    aim for at least 2.0ghz, if you have to go lower then its ok but a lot of the higher end games require 2.0ghz and going lower will affect how long your pc will remain useful for you. The higher you go past 2.0ghz (obviously) the better.

    good luck

  • yeah and probably soon enough they're going to give us a process which has a 1000 cores on the new tweaked speeds. But when will be the time when intel and amd utilize this processor power they created to run games graphics and maybe even provide memory. Surely this will eliminate competition such as graphics card and ram manufacturers and have the pc community all to themselves but i doubt that time will even come.

  • My pc is running a intel pentium D 2.66 @ 3.13 and it's starting to struggle playing simple games like Command & Conquer 4.

    With out getting a full new system What CPU would you recommend for an LGA 775 Max FSB 1066

  • @hotpot71 roflmao you are the same clown trying to tell me that multicore cpu is slower than single core. do yourself a favor and upgrade buddy. I have no doubt back in its day that pc was a beast (not kidding). however most application development is taking advantage of multi-threaded applications. Go with a multi core (make sure to get one with a good frequency or it will run single threaded apps slow)

    I just got a 2.1ghz quad core laptop and I am loving it... good luck :)

  • @diablojd52

    i was not saying a multi core cpu is slower than single core, i was saying a quad core with HT will not run like a 8 core cpu. It will run better that a stock quad but not like a 8 core

  • @hotpot71 ok I understand what you are saying and there is no other way to say it, your wrong. look into what hyper threading and hyper transport is... it creates virtual cores so that you can double the threads. So a quad core HT has 8 threads.

  • @diablojd52

    but a virtual core is not a real core and relay as no power and just run's in a real core.

    if a quad core can run 4 programs as max i take a quad HT can run 8? NO because there is just 4 core and they have the share out the power over the load

  • @hotpot71 power is not the end all factor you need to look at. i think you are getting too hung up on power and ignoring newer technology that exploits weaknesses in previous cpu's.

    Hyper-threading works by duplicating certain sections of the processor—those that store the architectural state—but not duplicating the main execution resources

    In doing this they basically made enough of a core to simulate having double the cores but reduce the need for as much power.

  • 2 years later, my dual-core is doing absolutely fine, running all games - max settings..

  • 2 years later, there are still many many new games that only use 1-2 cores.

  • @a7x5631 yes, but most games from now will support multiple cores, even counter-strike source supports multiple cores ;)

  • @DAISUKEEz you are correct but even if a game doesnt support multi core you can just set the affinity for the game or application to run on 1 core

  • 3DGAMEMAN, DO you ever blink or breath during your videos lol...

  • @PixPoint If you're talking about the one that HP shipped in their computers, more than likely it won't work.

  • alan wake rocked^_^

  • im happy cause i got the i7 980x :) will work for future games! :D

  • That guy looks like he knows his stuff so well that if he told me to throw my 6gb RAM away and replace it with 64mb I'd think it would be a good idea.

  • @ivanlagrossemoule WTF !! Loool damn ! lmao

  • im getting six??????

  • @aidanrox117 its old its 2 years

  • is it posible to change the video card to a pc with quad core prosesor???

  • @carlos26344 of course you can.

    You can change a video card on any processor.

    So Yes You Can :)

  • i have core 2 due .. can i replace it with core 2 quad ?? please reply please

  • @Verification11 yes you can, just make sure that you get a processor with the same socket type as what your motherboard will take, otherwise it would simply not fit.

  • ARMA 2 most demanding game. brings any rig to its knees

  • there will be over 100 cores in a computer in the next 100 years

  • @darkaznlordx x2 :P

    each year they developed 2 more cores XD, 100yrs = 200 cores lol

  • @meggicxiaobaobei lol, they already have 100 core processors but its like 1165165161$ so dunno, maybe it will come to stores withing the next 10 years.

  • @meggicxiaobaobei wrong, by 2015 intel say they will have an ultra high end 48core so in say 2020-2025 this should be mainstream. currently we have 12 core this means it is rising exponentially

  • @meggicxiaobaobei

    Lol that made my day for some reason XD

    You never know! AMD are releasing 16 core Opteron 2011.

  • @meggicxiaobaobei

    Actually, the progress in computer technology is exponential. That means, in a 100 years we will probably have a 2000 core processor.

  • @meggicxiaobaobei and you can store it in a empty box of matches....hahahah

  • @meggicxiaobaobei I'm not sure about that. Intel SAID 4 years ago that they'd have an 80-core processor in 5 years. Though, that was probably for servers. But 80 cores is insane. Also, I don't think we'll ever have 14 cores. Or 18. I think it'll be in sets of 4. Or just skip up to even more by the time we get past a certain number.

  • @GeekingForJesus

    dude the new sandy bridge shows us the way of the future as well as amd new cpu's..........all gpu's and cpu's will eventually be combined and allow each other the sames access to each others cores e.g the latest ATI gpu's have 1200 cores and Nvidia have 400-500 cores.....now this coupled with dedicated gpu power and integrated cpu will eventually over the next 3-4 years lead to a trually unified architecture.

    however this technology is currently underpowered :(

  • @sorr535771 CPU cores and GPU cores are very different, though. But in the end, it's all about what the final result is for gamers. And whether it's ATI or NVIDIA, or AMD or Intel, so long as we get some awesome games in the future, I'm not complaining. That's what gaming's all about, anyways.

  • @GeekingForJesus yes different at the moment, lets face it the onboard graphics are no where near a dedicated performance at the moment, however the development is going along the lines of an APU (not gpu or cpu) APU stands for Accellerated Processing Unit and will combine the best of both worlds e.g the massivly parralel processing of a gpu with the low power calculations of the cpu with shared memory banks and 3d micro architecture ;) bit of inside knowledge lol

  • @sorr535771 Well, if it increases computing power and helps advance modern technology, then in the right hands, I welcome it.

  • Comment removed

  • @meggicxiaobaobei +2 gigs of ram per core >.<

  • @darkaznlordx thanks for the info....

  • I have that exact same clock that's on your wall in my kitchen. :D

  • 6 core :)

  • the best cpu cooler is mine

    AMD basic cooler

  • Dude I freaking love your videos!

  • 0:23-0:24... extremely social:))

  • Alan wake used 0 cores!!

  • @Thet3 Me too!

  • 69 cores

  • lol Alan Wake got Canceled for PC. Quad Core is only good for GTA4 and maybe Just Cause 2

  • what type of mobile computer is good for every day use like movies, fast internet, non lag small time gaming around 250 to 500 dollars with 2gb of ram about 250 gb of memory.

  • @a56b2 well for non lag gaming it gets expensive and complicated but for fast internet and and hd movies you can get some really nice computers for less money. it depends on what you mean by small time gaming.

  • @a56b2 Unfortunately I find laptops rather lacking when it comes to gaming (seems much harder to keep them cool and thus performance degrades (at least for mine)). You need to make sure you get a dedicated gpu for any type of gaming, otherwise it's going to be a pain in your ass. As for what to pick, Athlon/Phenom II (not intel since you something under $500).

  • I just want to ask that I have an Intel (R) Atom cpu 230@1.6GHz(2cpu's)

    My question is this that Is this cpu a dual core, and is it efficient for games... More over I have 1 GB DDR2 Ram... And There is a simple pci slot, not PCI-Express... So Kindly help me whether I should buy another Core To Duo, or simply buy PCI Graphics card,,, THanks... ALLAH Bless you

  • mines core 2 quad Conroe Q8300

  • Is there a really good cpu or processor for anything like GTA IV on pc?

  • @d0ck47 I use an E8400 @ 4GHz and it plays awesome. =) But if you're planning to get a new one, I advice to get an i7 / i5. It's a little more expensive, but it's worth it. ;)

  • @d0ck47 y would u ask that? the game sucks lol

  • Hi there, I have a question.

    Which is better or more superior, Dual Core or Core 2 Duo? Because I m a bit confuse between the two, are they different or the same?. I m preparing my PC for SC2 Thanks in advance.

  • @dfool06 no they arent the same dude, core 2 duo is the newer version of dual core but they pretty much do the same thing

  • @dfool06 Plz if you have any info on whats good to run SC2 plz write back, my computer is lagging and even if i set all my graphics and sound settings to low it lags in fact it even sends you a message. I play the game regardless i just wish there was a way to play it a little smoother. I have plenty of ram not sure on memory. i cleaned out my computer went to their support site. Contacted intel and even upgraded my driverX or something like that and still lag.

  • @wellirule Well on beta I have the same lagging problems. What I did was upgrade my ram from 1gb to 3g (added another 2 gb) and had my OS run on dual boot (XP sp3 to support still my other older games and 7 for SC2. Check out the official site of SC2 for the systems requirements, check if your video card can support the game. Or email blizzard tech support directly. That's what I did.

    Or just by a new rig and sell your old one. It will save you a lot of trouble imo. :)

  • DECA-Core. :D

  • I'm using a dual core 3.4 GHz w/ 4 Gh of fast ram to run Crysis. Works really well but I want to upgrade to a Quad Core as soon as I finish paying off some stuff

  • i wish i had a core like you guy's !!! i have the stupid Core 2Dou 2.6 Ghz .. i have A BIG BIG PROBLEM whene i play GTA IV, its sucks !!! even Blur is like counter strike when i play it with this sucks core :(

  • im playing FAR CRY 2 on my Prentium D :D

  • stupid question its like "2 better than 1" hellow wake up people

  • i have a dual core 2x 3,1 ghz and play bfbc2 it still lagging tought i have a geforce 9600 GT

  • I´m playing Far Cry 2, all on max with my 2.93 Ghz dual core :)

  • Wat bout googlecore??

  • is intel Dual Core, E6500 2,93 GHz, 1066MHz, 2MB Cache good enough to play high quality games or atleast the new games that comes or should i clock it atleast to 3,0ghz? give me your thought please

  • your q8200 is high end , i have the 8200 too but i oc to 2.80Ghz

  • Is my intel core 2 quad q8200 2.33 good????? for new games????

  • @Djole1412 You'll be able to play every game available at the time that i post this.

  • Its not to bad.

  • i9 6/12 cores

  • spider core! (6 cores)

  • @Burletonboy Spiders have 8 legs retard

  • @johnz3r epic fail :P

  • @Burletonboy I lol'd

  • @Burletonboy dude your a retard, spiders hav 8 legs...lol. maybe you should stay away from gaming for a while and go back to school....

  • Yeah according to 'Burletonboy'; Spiders are 6 legged insects and not 8 legged arachnids....

  • @johnz3r depends

  • @Burletonboy : DD

  • Thanks m8

  • You can get a fast (or highly overclocked) Dual Core CPU and you can easily get performance similar to a quad core (even outperform some).

  • yeaahhh!!! I have Intel i5 Quad Core Processor!!! yeah i knew it was best!!!

  • @PaladinSoyasaus i5 is only dual core buddy.

  • @yellowcard1494 wrong, search after i5 then

  • @PaladinSoyasaus eh. maybe im wrong. but the only i5's ie seen are dual core. and anyway. you could get a more powerful AMD Phenom II X4 for less than an intel i5. thats wat im going with. the phenom II x4 956 black. 3.4 ghz quad core for $185.

  • @yellowcard1494 sure, but im a "Intel-er" and btw both my screencard and mother board works best with Intel

  • @PaladinSoyasaus oh well. nvidia is terribad in my opinion(im guessing thats what you have).

  • @yellowcard1494 haha im agreed, don't like nVidia so much either, at the time they aren't so good, but i use ATI dude, may be wierd that a ATI Screen Card works better with Intel than with AMD, but its not so much diffrence...

  • @yellowcard1494 also, i think they come standard as dual core, but are unlockable to quad core.

  • quad core is the one for me i play FC 2 Crysis warhead Crysis Crysis Wars GTA 4 Flight Simulator X and more games also do heavy duty programing

  • thanks. quad core is the right cpu for me.

  • Far CRY 2 use only 2 cores 999%

  • ya hes dumb..

  • I think the Intel i7 960 is the best that money can buy, for now anyway. Ive got it with the alienware Area 51 ALX only a month ago, bit expensive though. But well recommended if you want a good processor for gaming. Though you still need a good graphics card and some RAM, say 2-3Gb +, for some bigger games coming out

  • @LaBotellona08 nah. the AMD Phenom II X4 965 black has a core clock of 3.4 ghz for 185 bux. now thats the best deal on an equivalent processor to the i7s. i think the 960's are 6 core though. am i right? and even then, no one really needs 6 cores unless you wanna do some MAJOR multi-tasking.

  • im probbly getting tri core

  • @superelmopro96 why would u pay the extra 20 bucks for a quad core? makes no sense to me.

  • @yellowcard1494 But isnt that extra $20 getting you twice the power?

  • @benneb07 i mis-typed my comment. i meant to say why WOULDNT you pay the extra 20 bucks.

  • @yellowcard1494 Fair enough and thats better ^^

  • @benneb07 lol.

  • breaking news!.......alan wake has been scraped for windows platform, it means no more alan wake for pc user

  • umm... are there mobos that have can have 2 processors?? :> and how much?? cause in servers they have more than 1 processors

  • Servers mostly have 16cores

  • are there companies that sell mobos that can accomodate 2 proccesors?? and will it be hard to find one?? and is used in a normal desktop pc :D

  • Of course, yes, the SKULLTRAIL can work with 2 Intel Xeon processors, but It costs like a car xD!! It costs many money, I prefer Core I7, because it uses DDR3 Memory on triple channel.

    =)

  • @jordan010203 you know. you could get an amd that will work with ddr3 for less than an i7. lol. why does anyone buy intel anymore? i just dont get it.

  • There are motherboards that can hold up to.. I think 32 processors. But they are for servers... my dad has got a dual Xeon e5440, I've seen it and it's really cool.

  • wow..... is it true that some cost like a car?? XD

  • @kurogane2x no. only servers can have a dual processor setup.

  • hard as hell keeping up with processors.

  • area 51 i think is the best gamind computer

  • When I run Bioshock 2 with mi core 2 quad, it uses the 4 cores (or it`s my imagination?? xD) I say because I saw it in the taskmanager from windows =)

  • i have no idea what the fuck cores are, but i just got a quad core cause it sounded badass.... i play World of warcraft, and im gonna start cod MW2 soon. Can someone tell me a little bit more about this??

  • Cores are just the technology on the CPU that helps it handle processes. Each core handles processes like data being sent back and forth. Processes and tasks get done much quicker with say, a quad core CPU (4 cores working together) than a computer with one or two cores.

  • PENTIUM 4 was first 2X CPU

    HT=hyperthreading

    NOW THERES 4 ON 1 CHIP=quad core!

    dual core is a real 2X CPU unlike pentium4. think cylinders under cars hoods!!!!!!

  • I'm going for two octacores.. soo, sixteen cores should do it =)

  • core i9 only for inter servers not for pub..... i recommend core i7 (best for gamers)

  • Far Cry 2 ran excellently on my single core Pentium 4.

  • Nah man, dexacore.

  • hexagon core.
