Which is the best???

[dead_95]

which is the best processors among the followings???

Core i5-750 , Core i7-920 , Core 2 duo E8400 , Core 2 Quad Q965 , Core2 Quad Q9550

 

[hefox]

Depends what you mean by best? Best for games? video/audio editing? Price/performance? Office applications? Performance/power? etc

 

[dead_95]

euhhh all of the above....

 

[saint19]

1- i7-920
2- i5-750
3- C2Q9650
4- C2Q9550
5-C2D E8400

BUT bear in mind that the performance depends of all the components of the rig, CPU, RAM, HDD or SSD, airflow...not only of the CPU.

 

[C00lIT]

in order from best to worst

I7-920 Best of Best Quads, expensive SKT1366
Core I5 750 As good as the I7-920 but cost effective the more common intel socket
Q9650 Top quad for older LGA775
Q9550 Same as above but more cost effective
E8400 Almost top Dual core of LGA775

I got beaten to it.

 

[dead_95]

one more cpu came to the list.......Intel® Core™ i7-860 Processor

 

[saint19]

1- i7-920
2- i7-860
3- i5-750
4- C2Q9650
5- C2Q9550
6-C2D E8400

The top two are somewhat questionable. I'd list them in the same order as Saint19 if you're overclocking, but if you aren't, I'd put the 860 as slightly ahead of the 920.

The i7 is the best but in terms of overall best with price and whatever you need to use it for, I would suggest going with the i7 cuz you will be fascinated by its performance and you wont need to upgrade for a long time

good luck

I agree with Saint19 but I will add one caveat

If you are building a dedicated gaming rig and on a budget, I'd say:

1. i5 750
2. i7 920
...
..
.

Reason being is the i7 is all about the hyperthreading, for which most games don't optimize. The i5 can be overclocked as well. The only downside is the future proofing of choosing the i5. The 1156 socket that the i5 uses won't support the next generation of processor (hexcore) but an i5 build will still run any game today. And as mentioned, if you are on a budget it may be a better choice.

Also here is a recent gaming processor review: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gaming-cpu,2520.html

Taking into account "everything"

Eq 1 = i860 and i750
3 = i920
Beyond that I couldn't be bothered rating the Socket 775 chips.

 

[seth89]

i7 920 is hands down the best CPU out.
the 920 can be OC by anyone, gets great scores in benchmark test, and runs cool.

(I run mine at 4.2ghz and can get it up to 4.5.
I have a 975Extreme and my 920 runs faster and cooler.)

+1

it really does depend on what your doing.

The i5-670 Dual Core is the Bomb, go check it out

So i am student ...........work in graphic studies so .....my need will be surely on video,picture editing..........and also for GAMING.....

Ok. I would go for the i7 or the i5, also depends of your budget. and if you want OC or not.

 

[dead_95]

is the OC really important...?????


and about the budget ...not to bother as father will buy them,,,.....

Is important if you want do it. Now, you are the only person that know if the OC is important for you, or if you want learn how do it.

For example, my Phenom II X 955 is a 3.2GHz Quad-core at stock, but it's running now at 3.8GHz with OC.

Acording to this, you can choose the processor for you, if you don't plan OC, you would get the i7-860, BUT if you want OC the processor and get the max of this, get the i7-920.

yeah, but you can save him money, and that is always good

 

[dead_95]

the stock spped of the i7-860 is 2.80 Ghz...........and the i7-920 is at 2.66 Ghz.......what if I OC the i7-920 at 2.80Ghz.....will have the same performance as the i7-860???

If you want spend $288.99 in the i7-920 only for OC 200MHz don't make sense, get the i7-860. If you buy the i7-920, is for OC at 3.5GHz or more.

 

[dead_95]

waht is the price of the i7-860???

 

[saran008]

Don't go for LGA 775 Sockets... They are almost dead.

Price of i7-860 at Newegg.com is U.S.$279.99.

 

[saint19]

waht is the price of the i7-860???

1- $279.99 in newegg
2- $276.99 in Zipzoomfly
