First Intel Wolfdale Benchmarks
The folks over at Project LAN have gotten their hands on the new Intel Wofldale CPU (6 MB L2 Cache). They compare it against the Intel Core2 Duo E6550 in several benchmarks ranging from games to system applications.
Also, take note of the 31% increase in performance for Half-Life 2.

I myself can have MP3 and MPG decoding at the same time I play a high-end game on my old Pentium 4 3.0Ghz and see no difference in performance pretty much. I can't even begin to explain how bullshit that claim is. It's almost like you're trying to refute every single thing I'm saying just because you don't like me, despite the fact that you have absolutely nothing to say..
But in any case.. 5 minutes is NOTHING. If you edit your project in an hour and a half and then render it in 10 minutes instead of 15 minutes, and then claim that in those 5 minutes you can visit TPU and thus it's worth it, then I have nothing left to say to you.
If you want to waste your money for 5 minutes, please do. Yeh, I know it was said about Dual-Cores, and guess what? It true! The only thing that Dual-Core CPUs or HT is good for is multi-tasking. And if that's your turn on then please go right ahead and buy the Q6600. Just realize that you would have to have 4 DVD burning sessions in the background to scratch that CPU while I can have 2 and I only need one. So you're saying that 3.9Ghz temps were IDLE?
If so, then this is only testiment to how horribly tatty can explain things :cool:
Well, from personal experience I can still say that, logically, I doubt that 3.9Ghz STABLE is even close to being possible. No, thats absolutely not true.
For a program to benefit from more than a single thread, it needs to be coded for it. Thats why almost all programs will run better on the higher clocked Dual-Core.
Ok, that's how your system runs, and that's a cool thing that you don't lose much fps.
I get 5 minutes to go to classes in school, and need it all, every second counts. And you can't say cooking a meal in 5 minutes while your program is rendering isn't a good use of time, unless you don't eat of course.
Dvd burning :confused: I could have 5 sessions running on my computer and it wouldn't be using the whole cpu. Also, what's this whole thing with I only need one? The idea of a cpu and computer parts aren't to have them run at 100% the whole time. I have a computer that does that with xp, and it sucks.
3.9 ghz is possible to get stable. It's been done as tatty as posted, idk why you are saying it's a fake etc. Why would someone lie? If they got 3.9 ghz on water, why would they say it was on air? Not like it gives you anything by saying it was on air. Oh and I'm hoping you are talking about on air, because people get well over 4 ghz on LN.
And you forget that more and more programs are being programmed to use more than one core. Remember, xp was only designed to handle one core, but they quickly changed their os with a sp. Also, remember the 360 and ps3 are multi-core and take advantage of it to.
Oh and btw nothing I've said in a post to you is bullshit.
Please get this back on topic or it will be closed.
Thanks

I kept with the discussion and came out on top, and yet people seem to be against me..
This forum is quite juvenile, now isn't it?
EVERYTHING you've said is Bullshit, and I have already corrected it.
Your problem is you either don't have nearly enough knowledge (which is your fault for not wanting it) or not enough critical though, which seems to be very common these days.
Yes, that 5 minutes means something to me. Not to mention, when I'm mixing, the additional threads of the quad would allow me to run more plug-ins and effects simultaneously. I also game, so to someone like me, the gaming computer with a quad makes more sense. To compound things, the E6850 and Q6600 are the same price, how does buying a quad equate to spending $5k on a workstation?
Now, a dual may be a better purchase for you, but it is not the better purchase for everyone, which is the way you are making it seem.
Now, back on topic: I'd really like to see what the quad version of this could do.
Tatty just beat him over the head with the butt of your rifle and be done with it. Will save us laughing to death then hurting from to much laughing then getting pissed off coz the thread missed the first turning on the right and now is heading down to ape-shitville
@GSG- They also improved the dividing capabilities, maybe that's why it performed better in source?
Strange thing is, it would appear from what I have read over the last page and a half that you seem to be the only one thinking you came out on top.....wonder why that might be? If you feel the need to be competative feel free to do some benching and post some scores in the various competition threads, competition is good.....but what matters most is the way you compete.
It really does sadden me that you feel that this forum is "Juvenille", by that statement you obviously include me so I would genuinly like to thank you for that, at the age of 47 I am rarely referred to as a Juvenille anymore, but based on the fact (evidenced in the last couple of pages) that a number of these "Juvenille" forum members think that your approach has not shall we say ....been too endearing then perhaps you should take a small look at yourself before pointing your finger at others, apart from that....welcome to TPU......I hope your stay with us is worthwhile and beneficial.
. . . and if I may say so, I completely agree with Tatty's posts - and the evidence he uses to backup his claims.
IMO, I think you're arguing with a fanboi, man, you won't ever be able to get him to admit defeat. I'm surprised he's not trying to make stuff up . . . yet.
and if I might say so - Intel CPU's are notorious for running much cooler than AMD's. As for multithreading - anything that utilizes or has more than one core is considered multi-threaded. Whether it's a 2nd logical core, or multiple physical cores. I even saw a fps bump with the Quake4 patch on my Hyperthreaded P4. I only have one physical core, but I also have a 2nd logical core. Psuedo-dual-core (or simulated, or emulated - whatever you want to say).
