CPU speed list?

[Guest2]

I'm a bit behind times on processors and how they compair. Is there a list that shows a benchmark list of processors like below? There are so many different AMD and Intel names like phenom IIII X10, E9000 etc

i7
i5
i3
AMD Phenom ii X4 965
Q6600
E2150
E8100
E????

I'm not sure if there's a list of all of them but I think it goes like this (in order of best to worst)

i7
i5
AMD Phenom II 965
i3
Q6600
E8100
E2150

Thanks, what about when clocking the chips?

I thought an I3 would be a fair bit faster and a Q6600 thats a few years old. Isnt there a load of chips that compair to the Q6600, - Q9500 or something

Tom's Hardware does a regular run-down of CPU's (based on the gaming merits of each chip) and produces a list.

The most up to date is

Fritz is multithreaded, super pi is single threaded.

I'm proud to say that an overclocked q6600 is still quite formidable.

Which processor is fastest will depend on what software it is running. The i7 920 at 4ghz is a popular choice, but often purchased by people who would have been wise to buy a cheaper system as they're playing games on it instead of number crunching.

That's about right

Q6600 is a bit out of place though unless its heavily overclocked, especially in a gaming system. Unless all 4 cores are used fully the i3 should spank a Q6600, and remember the Q6600 is the "slower" 65nm quad, the Q9xxx's are noticeably faster clock for clock, coming in not that far behind the i5/i7 models. Likewise the i3 can outperform the PhenomII's in many games where quads are simply overkill.

Agreed, I'll edit my post
