how much faster will a Q9450 be compared to an Athlon x2 4400 skt939


also how much faster will a e8400 be compared with a p4 2.4c
 
Than 4400X2:

Games? Anywhere from not much at all to a huge amount (depending on the graphics card you've got). If you want quantification, look on benchmark sites.

General Apps? Probably no different unless you're encoding or using photoshop... again, look at benchmark sites for proper quantification.

Than the P2.4C? A huge amount, regardless of application. Unless it's the standard Microsoft Office/browsing the net, etc.
 
ive looked for benchmarks but find they all mostly compare the newest cpus against each other
 
I know this is arbitary, but SuperPI 1M values would be something like this:

P4 2.4GHz - 60s
X2 4400 - 37s
E8400 - 14.7s
Q9450 - ?

All at stock, gives an idea.
 
so i could expect the e8400 to be about 4x faster than the 2.4c and the q9450 at least twice as fast as the x2 4400


seems worthwhile upgrading then
