6000+ vs e6600 in terms of temp's

What runs cooler... a c2d e6600 or an x2 6000+ ?

My previous rig (built like 7 years ago now... been using laptop) had an AMD 1800+ (non OC'ed) and the heat it poured out was incredible, the machine was like a spaceheater. Is this still the case with AMD chips?

The 6000+ will run warmer, not only is it 600Mhz higher clock, but the Core 2 architecture runs cooler on a clock for clock basis.

The C2D will run much cooler. Many things contribute to this. The 6000+ is a 90nm design, 125w chip that runs 600mhz faster than the C2D, while the e6600 runs obviously 600mhz slower on a 65nm design and is a 65w chip. So the smaller size and lower power requirement as well as slower clock speed contribute to all the main factors that cause heat in a CPU. Though the actual performance of the two chips (speed wise) is quite identical.

The 6000+ consumes twice the power and most of that goes into heat dissipation, so yea, spaceheater.

thanks for the replies. i just stumbled across these july 22 price cuts too. how would the 6750 rank against the 6000+ ... about the same i figure?

No, the E6750 will wipe the floor with the 6000+ in all areas...heat and performance alike! If that is a viable option then I highly suggest that you go with that processor.

If these July 22 price cuts happen, then I think the 6750 will actually be $40-50 cheaper than the current e6600 right?

 

[3Ball]

Yea I would say somewhere around $35 cheaper or so...I expect the price to be around $185 from the egg.

Best,

The E6750, because it's based on the G0 core is cooler running than the E6600. In fact, even the new 3GHz E6850 appears to use less power under load then the E6600:
