q9300 vs q6700

Timo · 05-05-2008, 10:32 AM

If the Q6600 is an average of 7.4% slower and the Q6700 is clocked 11.1% faster then the Q6600... I'd reckon it's faster then a Q9300... And still, you're going for a Q9300 which is bound to be overclocked. And I am sure Q6700 will out-overclock it.

And who told you that 11% higher clock means 11% higher speed on average ?

11% higher clock might give you 11% increase in some specific applications, but not on average, because not all applications are CPU-intensive.

In games I normally see an performance improvement of a percentage that is greater then the clock percentage. But ofcourse this normally means you're CPU was bottlenecking a bit

Still, I'd take Q6700 over Q9300. Cheaper and you won't notice much difference (well, not any would be a better word but ofcourse 3Dmark06 shows a little difference... Very little).

would the 9300 OC higher than the 6700?

Prob not... prob very close if not less. The Q6700 clocks quite high. Over 4.00ghz I believe.

Sorry to those who thought I was spamming. It wasn't intentional.
The magazine article goes into more depth than anyone is willing to write here in this forum so that's why I mentioned it.
There is no link to the article so I can't give you all one.

Later

your partially right.

the only reason today's q9300's cannot overclock higher then the older series is solely motherboard technology. 45nm is inherently better at overclocking, but since motherboards cant handle fsb's of 2400mhz, the clocks are severely limited.

Either way, Q6700 will clock way way higher. Q9300 hasn't gotten over 3.8Ghz stable, and I have seen PhaseChange cooled Q6700 go to atleast 4.2Ghz... Which is very very high...

I reckon a Q6600 would even OC higher then the Q9450 because if I am correct the Q6600 will go over 3.8Ghz and stay stable (with the correct Voltage tweaks).

Nope. The Q9300 has a much lower multiplier.

Butch M. · 05-09-2008, 02:09 PM

What do you think of OC q6700 with TT Ultra 120 to 4,00 GHz?
Can it be done.
Wich memory/Asus motherboard would you recommend for this kind of attempt.
Im building a new machine for 3D rendering so I want something to OC wildy and then to put it back on stock when not needed.

p.s. one thing is not clear to me when you talk aboth q9300 and q6700 at 3,50 GHz, wont q9300 preform better at rendering speed, couse its a 45nm and q6700 65nm?!
Thanx people
