Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 2.66 Ghz vs Intel Pentium Dual Core E6700 3.20 Ghz for gaming

Control Processing Unit benchmark states that the Pentium Dual Core E6700 receives much greater points as compared to Core 2 Duo E6700. However, there are numerous people who believe that Core 2 Duo is enhanced for the reason that it's newer and thus had more L2 cache. Could anyone tell me which one is superior for gaming such as GTA 4 or CoD MW2? Do reply people and let me know. Thanks in advance.

I feel you should opt for Core 2 Quad 9xxx series. These are the shiniest currency remaining in the LGA 775 platform. Went from the E8400 c2d to the Q9505 c2q. Not i7 presentation, nevertheless reputable. The Q9550 is the similar with additional cache. Where do you stop with a platform that is no longer carried and vanishing? Hope it helps. Also, in 90% of cases for a gaming setup the graphics card has additional of an impact compared to the processor.

You will find no performance boost in gaming if you modify your processor. By the way, I have that processor and it overclocks like a beast. If you just spend about 25 dollars to purchase a new CPU cooler in addition to Overclock it to 2.8Ghz you will be superior quality. Both aren't enormous, although the core 2 duo is better., nevertheless for gaming you may wish for picking up a improved graphics card and if something a bit more Random Access Memory. Somewhat approximately 4 gigs if you do not contain that much by now

In the past, the 'Pentium' line of CPU's were the presentation parts that Intel produced for the desktop. Since the release of the Core series, Intel re-used the Pentium product for the cause that of it worldwide acknowledgment for its money 'core' based Control Processing Unit's. You require to be cautious with what category of 'Pentium' chip you are talking about. In this scenario, you would expect the 'Pentium' to outperform that Core 2 Duo chip in most cases.

A synchronized 'Pentium' chip is in point of fact a Core 2 based CPU with less amount of L2 cache and often a crippled front side bus (FSB). What your comparing is a 2006 Core 2 Duo to a 2010 Pentium (Core 2 based) CPU. The superior clocked Pentium Control Processing Unit is additional than offsets the difference in L2 cache ,4MB versus 2MB. Aside from that, the FSB are the identical, the structural design is the corresponding, and the whole thing else is the alike - in this case. A more recent Core 2 Duo will encompass a senior FSB of 1333MHz.

Looking at the above posts it appears that you must have got more than sufficient information. I would like to tell that in benchmarks, the Pentium Dual Core E6700 does superior compared to the Core 2 Duo E6700. The Pentium scores 2022 contrasted to the C2D's 1654, superior is enhanced, offered that your motherboards bios ropes it, the Pentium E6700 will be a substantial enhancement over your C2D E6400 which has a bench achievement of the 1273.

Overclock the processor, excluding you necessitate aftermarket cooling, which has good reviews of Overclocking Control Processing Units's. In any case you had been building a Brand-new technique, opt for the Core 2 Duo, for the reason that they are Nano-meter and the structural design is improved which is then equal to enhanced performance. I hope you like my post and it helps you. Thanks a lot. Take Care.

I was looking into tweaking my sons old PC a bit and found that a "C2D E6700 2.66GHz 1066MHz 4MB L2" was largest CPU spec sheet says MOBO will support? Problem is the C2D E6700 is rare and the E6700 keeps popin up every where I search! This forum touched on the exact issue I was facing so I joined to ask a ? LOL rhetorical Question: why would Intel would tag two processors with the same number? Any who the real question is can my MOBO support the newer CPU? MOBO is "D945GCL Coryville 2" This subject brings other questions to mind about this old "Personal Confuser"
