Q6600 vs Q6700

[StealthTools]

How much better is the Q6700 than the Q6600.. I know the Q6700 has a higher multiplier.. I also know the Q6600 can be overclocked very high.

Can the Q6700 overclocked higher with less heat?

What makes the Q6700 that much more special?

theres a e6750 and e6550, what makes the e6750 so special?

Logically speaking, q6700 might oc better than the q6600 cuz of the higher multiplier and as well as a higher stock clock speed, intel would use better clocking chips cuz the speed is more 2.66ghz vs. the 2.4ghz of q6600.

The Q6700 is not any better than the Q6600, other than that 10x multiplier. The Q6600 G0 is very overclockable, but with the 10x multiplier, the Q6700 will just have a slightly easier time getting to high speeds.

But in my opinion, at it's price, the extra $200 for that, isn't worth it.

The difference between them, 260mhz and 300 dollars...

The q6700 is not available in the G0 stepping that everyone loves the q6600 for so it is quite likely you won't be able to overclock it as high.

The q6700 is not available in the G0 stepping that everyone loves the q6600 for.

Actually it is:

If you are using the same voltage to achieve 3.7GHz on the Q6700 as you are on the Q6600.. wouldn't the heat be exactly the same? I mean.. electricity is electricity and a CPU is a CPU..

ps:.. I took some medicine cause I am sick and I am about to pass out or something.. can hardly type a word =\

But that doesn't mean, it's guaranteed. All of the processors will overclock differently.

Though the Q6700 would have an easier time, to get to 3.7GHz.

I hear that the:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor

totally blows the Q6700 out of the water.. I hear that a guy got to 4.4GHz on air and it is stable.

Is this true?

ALSO.. the price is alot less than the Q6700 I think

This processor seems to be Dual core and the Q6700 is quad core...it seems that the 6700 is slower and the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor is faster but is only dual core.

It's true, that the E8400s are overclocking monsters. And 4.4GHz is possible.

I don't think it blows the quad core out of the water. Maybe now, it beats the quads in some things, like gaming, but that won't be the case in the future.

On the topic of Q6700 v. Q6600, would you really spend an extra $200, just to have an easier time getting a slightly higher overclock, with slightly lower temperatures? Doesn't seem like a good trade-off to me.

Thanks.. I just wanted to know how much better the Q6700 is.. also.. do you thnik that the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
is the one I should buy vs the Q6600? if the Q6600 can get a stable 3.7GHz and the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz can get a stable 4GHz would the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor be alot better and faster OR.. if because the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz is a dual core processor it will be overall worse than the Q6600
