I7 vs quad core

Hello,
i7 vs quad core

 

[iRaiden]

Hi,
Xbox vs. PS3

Pie vs. Cake

 

[fjiekie]

games: quad core
console: PS3
food: pie
ultimate choice: a pie decorated with a quad served on a ps3...

on topic, if you want to ask a question, make that question clear...
games: quad-core is enough
multi-tasking: core I7 is better when the programs you use can actually use that many cores...

Core 2 Quad. Lacks Turbo Boost and has a higher latency.

i7. Has Turbo Boost which makes it a superior gamer in terms of Clockspeed. Lower latency makes it 40% faster in just about everything. Supports DDR 3 RAM and can take advantage of the latest board that come with USB 3.0 and 6 GB sec SATA.

Overclocking takes care for the absence of turbo.. Latency timings are by design so no comments on that.. However, they play significance only with highly multi-threaded scenarios and/or applications.. If you talk about gaming, there is no such big a difference..

Unless I'm reading this wrong, my answer would be "i7 is a quad core"...

 

[Wamphryi]

Assuming the Quad Core is a Core 2 Quad Core vs an i7 and remembering that as far as the OS is concerned the i7 is an Eight Core, I own one of each. The i7 eats the Core 2 Quad in every respect. It consistently beats the Core 2 by 40% real time computing. On the Gaming side of things games load faster and hold up much better under intense graphics and action.

What kind of a post is this?
No question... just a statement.

If there is a match like that let the OP tell the dates, venue and the ticket prices. If possible we would gladly turn up.

i7 vs Quad Core...
Stupid Question!
First off, an i7 is a quad core, unless its the 980x. Secondly, which quad core and which i7...
