comparison between Intel Q9650 and 2500k Intel

[Antton]

Sysmark efficiency would enhance 40% by improvement to a 2600K on my Q9550. At the present the question is that I have been organization my Q9550 3.6 GHz for 3 years. So my most excellent supposition is that 2600K stock speeds I would not see extra than 10% increase in on the whole performance? At the moment if you are in excess of the clock 2600 K to 4.5 GHz I presumption the dissimilarity goes back to regarding 30%. Does this warrant an upgrade? I know it depends on what I use my computer, but I'm used to update and see at least a 50% usually 100%, especially when waiting for 3.5 years.

Hi I hope this will help you solve to your confusion about this. The i5-2500K stock even is a considerable development for the reason that it has a dissimilar architecture, is much faster clock for clock, 30% in just that. And condition you be there overclocking to 4.5 GHz, will be miles earlier than the previous CPU. Depends on what you make use of your PC and require. To learn more about this, then you can search the Internet will get an easy solution there. Thank you.

I am using a Pentium D and it is extremely sluggish. It’s 1 year old and most likely about to go to heaven Asus motherboard. After that I move on my Q9550 system and of course we have the new construction. For me where I might make use of more CPU power would assist in audio coding, control sha, win-rar. But it's not really a big deal. So you are right that the SB would be enough. But I like to buy when a technology is good for at least 2 years, who knows what will by then? I would love to play, but not with 300W video cards. I think that even with the miserable 30% increase in 3 years, the SB still makes sense because I need a computer, and it's like waiting to give IB a significant performance boost for my use.

Well TBH, which in reality depends on what you require and make use of your PC for. I upgrading from a Q9450 and it is a substantial dissimilarity in all areas, does not pick up when the first i7 platforms left for the reason that the performance does not competition the price of the update below. But TBH the price of a platform is allotted SB cheaper than the old i7 platforms and motherboards are very good price, so do not (p67 problems aside) to discuss the falling prices of DDR3 memory. When the factor of the sale of your old platform is not a great improvement. In my humble opinion is worth the upgrade. But if you get the game like 2500K 2600K will not make much difference in all games. If encoding and multitasking heavily then additional cores will help virtual HT for the extra $ 100 or less.

If you are in the socket 1155 I do not think he was forced to move to the making of 2011 for the use of games and desktop, especially if you sat out all this time. When we obtain to 22 nm Ivy Bridge is possible, but the most excellent supposition is no. It is rumored that the bridge has ivy CPU socket 1155. For me, it moves toward downward to this. The 2600K is a great chip, at this time. Quad core, 95W, runs cool, 4 to 5 GHz OC. Z68 comes with caching SSD and will allow the use of graphics chips while organized crime. I bet that these plates will be nice. At the end of the life of 2600K, take your video card and has a quick cash low power good for almost anything.

Hello guys thank you for your quick replies on my query. Do you or anyone else has information on what this caching is SSD? I tried to find information about this SSD on Google but I did not get any important information about this, there is nothing appears to be associated to the Z68. I have a SSD now. It becomes a necessity that, I have to wait for the Z68 tables rather than the P67. Please if anyone has any information then share your knowledge with us. So even other than solve their problem related with these queries.

There are Major competitors in the Core 2 Quad Q9650, AMD's Phenom X4940. The Q9650 in most benchmarks beat the Phenom X4940, but the difference was small. I prefer the amd which is really great to use it.
