Depends on what you're going to be doing. You can't just say, "This CPU is better." Some CPUs are better for gaming. Others are better for things like CAD and media editing. Comparing artificial benchmarks is pointless.
intel cpu ranks?

hi forum members
i'm fairly new to this forum and i'm look forward to learn more from the EXPERT
i'm plan to assemble a rig pretty soon and i'm a first timer
i was hoping if yal know any trusted cpu benchmark for intel
thanks

Basically it does multi-threading. And because the Q8300 has 4 cores, it does better than a E8600.
4x 2.5GHz = 10Ghz
2x 3.33GHz = 6.66Ghz
Thus, Q8300 wins.

That isn't the whole truth now.
Quads are better for future-proofing, but the
Dual core Wolfdales really excel in numerous games
for frame-rates, over the quads, but yes, the future
will better serve the quads.

This is not how quad core works and I can't believe that is coming from a person with more than 200 reps.
For gaming, go with dual core, preferbaly something like an E8500. Not all game utilize all 4 cores at a time, but in the future, it will. However, if you're talking about real-time, then go with dual core ATM.

No game NEEDS a quad core, and barely any of them perform better on one. All you need for gaming is an e8400.

Yeah, an E8400 or E8500 will kick butt at gaming... but I can see which way the wind is blowing, which is why I got a Q9550. That and it was the same price as the E8400.

Right now for an LGA775 socket motherboard the E8500 or Q9550 would be the best bet for gaming. Otherwise the i5 750 (LGA1156) or the i7 920 (LGA1366).

That's not how cpu's work...
The E8600 would be faster, and the Q8300 would be slightly better at multitasking.

Get a q9550.

yea, i will for with quad core for sure
it just that the bench from that site seems kind of bogus

Maybe it's because it's a new CPU? I know the CPU being new has nothing to do with the performance, but bad Intel engineering possibly? This is my first time hearing about the Q9505. Get something like a Q9550 if you're going to do more than gaming.

You must never heard of FSX or GTA4 then
My quad core also has the same clocks and more cache than an e8400
I usually see e8400 @ 3.8 - 4.2ghz
