Dual Core and Quad Core benchmarks?

[AssaTM]

Hello, does anyone have any good and trustworthy links to benchmarks between the Dual core and Quad core cpu's? Many Thanks

haha just had a butchers at the comparison and it seems (as many of us thought) that it's really not worth getting quad in many cases it plays 2nd best to the core2's, even when it beats the core2's it's only my a small margin (other than benchmarks like 3dmark) my opinion is still the same get a c2d clock the nuts off it and it will easily perform as good as if not better than a quad!

Not for much longer. You've seen the performance gains of quad core over dual core when it comes to applications that can take advantage of 4 CPU cores? Well, once games start using those 4 cores which wont be long,then quads will ouperform duals by a huge amount. I'm glad I went for a QX6700, its a godsend for me as I do a lot of CPU rendering so I already use it, but I'm really looknig forwards to seeing what it can do in multi threaded games.

i haven't said quad is pointless, i just highly doubt it warrants it's price tag atm for very very minor gains over a well clocked c2d!

Developers are still not using Dual Core's in Games, let alone Quad Cores ;s, but it really seems like the EX6800 is the granddaddy one to have

This year, there WILL be games that take advantage of these chips, and the QX6700 will warrant its price tag. Just wait Hell, for me it warrants it now, rendering on this thing is so damn quick, who needs a render farm

I want some of whatever you're smoking!

Even the most new-fangled games and engines aren't using dual core yet. I highly doubt that there will be any at all this year, if there are, we're talking late-late-late Q4 or Q1 2008.

So.. you only play games? OK I suppose some folks do.. quadie games will very soon appear and tatty-bye old dual-core. Meanwhile... for video-encoding, zipping-up, zippng-out, and 3D especially graphics and terrain rendering the quadie stomps all over even the overclocked X6800 dualies. It stomps them into the mud then reverses back over them a few times, then the dog jumps out the truck and ****** all over the mess just for good measure.

^^^^ lol good stuff. At the end of the day its £600 for a reason. U probably can oc a c2d to same sort of performance, so its a good alternative. Still the quad is gonna wipe the floor with it in most desktop aps.
