Core 2 6600 @2.40GHz

[Signorino]

Hey, I'm trying to compare a few CPU's. My computer says the CPU in it is a Core 2 6600 @2.40GHz. However, I can't find this exact processor on the benchmark site I'm using (https://www.cpubenchmark.net/). However, I have found a Core 2 Duo E6600 @2.40GHz on the site. Are these the same thing? If they aren't, does anyone know a benchmark site that has this exact processor?

Yes, they are the same processor.

I'd use CPU-Z to make sure. There was a Q6600 quad core and an E6600 dual core that both ran at the same frequency.

E6600 - http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core2+Duo+E6600+@+2.40GHz&id=912

Q6600 - http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core2+Quad+Q6600+@+2.40GHz&id=1038

I ran CPU-Z and it turns out that it was, in fact, the E6600. Thanks. Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't the control panel show it was the E6600? In the other computers I checked, they all said "T2500", "T7700", "T8300".

The T series processors are for laptops only. There is also a P series processor for laptops.

 

[Signorino]

Yeah, I was just curious why the laptops specified that they were part of the T series, but the desktop didn't specify that it was part of the E series.

Probably the way the bios is recognizing it. If it was a quad it would say Core 2 Quad 6600.
