RyanSmithAT: Of course, at this point AMD is doing well enough in mobile that they don't need to be in a marquee MS product the….Its like getting into the hotest club right before they close. However their current cream of the crop is owned by the 1+ year old stuff. So yes amd made an improvemnt over the crap they had. The ability to overclock the q6600 is as easy as switching the bus to 1333mhz, and the ownage will grow. So why is this article written in such postive light for AMD? A nice paycheck for the author. Frys had it for 180 yesterday, Microcenter has it for 200. But the way this article was written is just garbage, A year late and a dollar short.Īs for price the q6600 is dropping all over the place.
Its nice Amd can FINALLY start to play with the big boys. And to top that off, I though the whole 'pure' quad core technology was supposd to be better then the lets slap 2 dual cores into one package method of Intel. The Q6600 has been out for what? over a year now. michal1980 - Thursday, Malink Ok amd is doing better.We'd say that makes a pretty good successor to the first affordable quad core CPU. The Q9300 can be noticeably faster than the Q6600 depending on the benchmark, and it does so while consuming significantly less power. The Q9300 sell becomes even easier when you look at power data:
The 7.4% average performance increase over the Q6600 isn't bad at all, especially if we're looking at price-parity. Assuming that the pricing issues get fixed next quarter, let's see how the Q9300 behaves as a Q6600 successor: The Q9300 just started shipping and you can now buy them from Newegg, but as we mentioned before they carry a 12% price premium due to limited supply. The question then becomes, is the Q9300 any faster at all than the Q6600? 1066MHz) and all of the minor architectural tweaks present in Penryn. The 6MB is also less than the 8MB on the Q6600, but the Q9300 runs 100MHz faster, has a 1333MHz FSB (vs. While all of the other 45nm quad core CPUs have 12MB of L2 cache on chip (6MB L2 per pair of cores x 2 pairs of cores = 12MB), the Q9300 only has 6MB (3MB L2 per pair of cores x 2 pair = 6MB). We had 45nm quad core chips on hand, but we couldn't simulate the Q9300, the table below explains why: We knew from looking at Intel's roadmaps that its successor would be the Q9300, priced at $266 (identical to the Q6600, at least on paper) this would be the new Q6600. When Intel unveiled its 45nm quad core QX9650 we were excited, but what we really wanted was the Q6600's successor.
You didn't have to give up much in clock speed over an equivalently priced dual core (only 266MHz), but you got four very fast cores to do with what you will. When Intel launched the Core 2 Quad Q6600 it was an instant hit in the enthusiast community.
