E6300 45nm and E5300 45nm

Now Lets say both processor achieve 3.5GHz (overclocked)

E5300's FSB will be 269 x 4 = 1076Mhz

E6300's Fsb will be 333 x 4 = 1332Mhz

As both will be on 3.5ghz,.....one has a higher FSB , while other has higher multiplier...HOW MUCH GAMING PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCE WILL be there between the do??Which is a better buy if one intends to OC till 3.5ghz , and play games at 1280x720 resolution...coupled with a nice and stable overall rig including GTS250 and 4GB ram!

Okay bro i am sorry.....Just wanted to know whether difference would be noticable?

AND Will E5300 reach 3.5ghz without any Vcore increment on Asus p5kpl-cm.....As E6300 reaches 3.6ghz on it!!But people say overclocking differs from chip to chip....but in my opinion 3.5ghz is a small OC , and any chip could achieve it!!
 
I have an E5300 overclocked 1GHz to 3.6GHz. My voltage is 1.31volts, which is within Intel's stock voltage range (stock is up to around 1.36v I believe).

2.6GHz to 3.5GHz is 900MHz, not exactly a small OC. And no, not all chips can do that. IMO, Intel chips are more overclockable than AMD chips since Intel sets them at a lower base-clock rate than their potential compared to AMD.

The majority of AthlonIs, AthlonIIs, PhenomIs, and PhenomIIs will have a very hard time overclocking 900MHz. ie. the PII 965 is clocked at 3.4GHz or 955 at 3.2GHz, and I don't really see too many people exceed a 1GHz OC with that chip, whereas the i7 920 is clocked at 2.6GHz, and a 1.4GHz OC to 4.0GHz is easily done on air cooling.

The majority of i5s, i7s, Core2Duo/Pent2 Wolfdales and Conroes can overclock 1GHz without too much problems. Same for the 9x00 Core2Quad Yorkshires.

The Intel quad that sucks for OCing is the 8x00 line, and even then you can get about 400MHz overclock from it...which is about equivalent to your average AMD overclock.

Sounds to me like someone just likes putting down amd when they get the chance...
He didnt even ask about a comparison between intel and amd...

My point being you should never have to over clock your processor to achieve framerates thats what the graphics card is for! I know that you running at that resolution will decrease the life of your processor and overclocking will decrease it even more especially at that amount. Its hard for me to say what is stable with that processor. And for someone to tell you that, that would be ok for 2 years would just not be good advice... if you want something to last 2 years, than use it the way it was intended to be used.. And if you feel the need to overclock then do it slightly not dramatically. Low resolution uses more of your processor because the Gpu is not needed so it doesnt really do any work.. at higher res your Gpu does more work and lightens the load on your processor, giving you better frame rates in games like Crysis...

"Can you please tell the difference in gaming with teh provided example...And remember i am talking about wolfdale 45nm pentium dual core E6300!"

@OP: I would go for whatever is the cheapest or if money isn't an issue for you, go for the E6300, since it has higher specs.

@Bluescreendeath: Way to bash AMD on an unrelated Intel thread. :pfff:

The CPU isn't a that big of a concern if either CPUs are clocked the same, as games will heavily rely on the GPU at your resolution. Temps do not go up too high if you increase the CPU Vcore just slightly, so again, if you want to save money for a better GPU, go for the E5300, if you have no money issues, go for the E6300. If you're having a tough time deciding, flip a coin, that's what I do if I really can't decide. :lol:
