Q6600 not only outperformed 9700, but it outperformed the higher clocked phenom 9900 2.6GHz in most cases
Please check the review from anandtech
AnandTech: AMD's Phenom Unveiled: A Somber Farewell to K8
Q6600 consume less power as well
WOWE
It doesn't bother me if you don't like my assumption but that is my opinion.
They have lost resources due to their own mistakes and that doesn't mean they cant produce something better than intels old core 2 duo architecture.
i am not and intel fanboy, and would actually like to see the x4's kill all the intels lineup but it seems like they will not surpass intels processors for now...
"Quad-core is really overkill for a lot of games anyway" cept crysis lol
Well lol, Crysis unnecessarily consumes too many system resources. I would never use Crysis as a benchmark to say "If I can't run this game, then I won't be able to play any future games! Besides, it's more GPU-bound than anything else. Crysis is maybe 3-4 years ahead of its time as far as consuming system resources, but unfortunately does not translate that into anything visually amazing. Everything else that has been recently released runs at least 100% to 200% faster on similar settings, most notably CoD4, Bioshock GoW and UT3 (Beta) and despite their more cartoony looks, I prefer the graphics rendering to those games instead of Crysis.
