Q6600 OC vs Q9650 Gaming

[Ibreakthings]

What would the differeneces be in FPS wise and i dont really want links ive seen them all but none for the Q 6600 @3.00GHz so its not really fair
Q9650@3.00GHz vs a Q6600@3.00GHz

You are making way too many threads when you could have stuck to one and asked the same questions. For gaming you are probably looking at a 5% increase per clock as most games are GPU bound at the current resolutions. One of the benefits of the Q9650 is the higher clock speed for less power. In fact you can clock it to 4GHz very easily.

Now if you will excuse me, I need to go clean up all the extra pointless threads you opened.

Hi,

it depends what games, modern games would run way better on core i5

the cpu, overclock above 3.5 won't gain much, if you can achieve.

The only way to know exactly is to test. Unless some one has done this specifically, all you can consider is the 9650 has the starting point of an 6600 OCd. More cache, cache per core, overclocking a 9650 would surely give you a nice boost over any 6600.

A 9560 vs a q6600 @ the same clocks with be utterly pointless. Virtually no difference at all. The only improvemtns made were a die shrink and more worthless l2 cash. Worthless for games I mean.
