NEED PROCESSOR HELP!!!!

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

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

would the amd phenom x4 be any good?

 

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

 

hmm

Iv got a question to ask..

if i buy a dual core proccesor that runs at 1.5Ghz does that actually mean that it is 3Ghz?? or that each core is just 750Mhz??

thaanks

 

Each core will be 1.5GHZ, so in total it will provide 3GHZ of processing power.
