hi hoorhay has question
Is about direct comparison in performance only, not what mobo goes with is more relevant. In gaming alone, and in cpu intensive games, which processor would hold back stronger graphics cards more. An old old c2q Q9400 or slightly newer dual core i5 650?
Q9400 has four logical core? But i5 almost same as it has 2 logical and 2 hyperthreaded? Would perform almost like quad core in things other than gaming? My main concern is gaming though, would i5 650 be marginally stronger? It would be my guess, but first generation i5 confuse me. If was Q9400 vs i7 920 I obvious pick i7. If first gen i3 I more likely pick Q9400, but not sure. Lean more to c2q there, but with i5 650 I'm thinking it out perform Q9400 and clock lots higher.
I am getting these cpu very cheap from friend, but wants $15 more for i5 650. Is worth?
GRATZE!!
