Does a pentium e6700 beats a q8200 in gaming

[emir-cerkezi]

i want to ask wich its better
q800 quad core 4x 2.33 ghz 1333 Fsb 4mb L2 Cache release 2008
Pentium e6700 2x 3.2 Ghz 1066 Fsb 2Mb L2 cache release 2010

i dont care about overcloking and power consumption i want on stock both my friends it giving to me for free the quad so what do u think it is a better idea to take a low clock quad instead to stay with dual and if there will be a bottlneck with gts 450

It might depend on the game because some use multiple cores better than others.

I seem to remember that Toms did some of their systembuilder marathons using slower quad core AMD processors, and the next time they used a faster dual core intel, and the intel overall was faster.

Quad, for sure. No doubt. Disregard that lower clock, the quad has double the cache, double the cores, better FSB and I don't remember a single Pentium being better than any Core 2 Quad. Shouldn't be a bottleneck, also. (Pentium, on the other hand, *might* be a small bottleneck). Quad. Don't think twice.

EDIT: Intel dual-cores beat AMD quads because of superior architecture, nothing else.

i agree with both of u but why on other forums people are saying that a high clocked dual core will be better in terms of gaming than a quad core cause only few games are programed todeal with quads

Because it's true. However, 2.33 GHz is enough for such games, since they're mostly older ones, and your graphics card will help anyway.

i have installed the q8200 now and its running perfect with Gerimini II heatsink thank all ur guys for answers
