Thread: Difference between Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 and Q9400

I just want to play games on my PC and do not want to lag that game in playing. So please provide me some suggestions to choose between Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 and q9400 processors for my PC. Any help will be appreciated.

For better cooling system for CPU overclock overlook Core2 Quad Q6600. If you can’t overclock you do better than higher frequency, also to 45nm Intel Core2 architecture MHz are efficient per MHz than 65nm. If you play I think Q9400 will do better.

Just for playing games Q9550 best fro use. Or multitasking, like watching movie, recording, Internet Q9400 is best to use.

Phenom II offers a 20 per cent performance increase compared with the Phenom 9950. More instructions per clock, a higher frequency and 4MB more cache are the heroes of the day. It’s interesting to note that AMD’s slide show only shows a limited four(ish) per cent performance increase due to DDR3, so the much cheaper DDR2 Ram should provide the best bang for buck for the foreseeable future.

Have a nice day
