NEED PROCESSOR HELP!!!!

rachit2652 · 12th Oct 2008, 02:19 PM

I WANT TO BUY AN AMD PROCESSOR WHICH PERFORMS LIKE THE INTEL Q6600.ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

DarKSeeD · 12th Oct 2008, 07:25 PM

There is no such thing!

And please lower the CAPS, thank you!

haha i dont think there is any same performance. just check the faster one, although the overclocking might not be comparable with Q6600

Lacus · 12th Oct 2008, 07:46 PM

the phenom 9xxx series..but not sure if it works as fast as a Q6600.

Max_87 · 12th Oct 2008, 08:36 PM

Just get an Intel Q6600 and be happy with it. No point getting AMD now unless you have some specific reasons for going AMD lol.

lee_what2004 · 12th Oct 2008, 08:40 PM

would the amd phenom x4 be any good?

Max_87 · 12th Oct 2008, 08:52 PM

No. I won't even consider Phenom unless:

- I have AM2 mainboard and looking for an upgrade.
- I'm a fanboy

Not to mention Phenoms are poor overclockers.

If you absolutely have to go for Phenom X4 for whatever reasons, 9850/9950 is something closest to Q6600 you can get right now.

haha, ok
point 2 is not debateable

In practical point of view, Phenom's has too much shortcomings. Not that I'm an Intel fanboy, but I'm extremely neutral about it.

If you want maximum performance now, you should need that Q6600. If not, or you are doing just casual stuff on it, not hard-core, any cheaper AM2+ or AM3 systems will help.

My faithful X2 is still working good until I changed it to an E7200 system. Wow!

Ask yourself, how would you utilize multi core processing?

If you cannot answer, go for E8400 instead.

Qxxx consumes more power and generates more heat in relation to E8400
