Tatty_One said:Agreed! Tests show that the L2 Cache difference is minimal across the whole range of benchmarks, about 2% but no advantage in games for example.

Tatty_One said:Alec we will have to stop meeting like this!........
"Get a gaming console.".....why? will it send and receive e mail for me?....burn DVD's or CD's for me I wont go on....u take my point.
Tatty_One said:I think you and I may be a slightly older generation than many on here, in the UK, 90% of all male PC users (in the home) under the age of 25 use a PC almost exclusively for gaming and for gaming currently L2 Cache or dual core processors make litttle difference especially when taken into account with the average higher costs.
Tatty_One said:In fact in many cases a dual core processor running at the same speed as a single core will be slower in a game.
Tatty_One said:I know you programme and do various other stuff, I do a little video editing and number crunching but game some too and I like the fact that I can edit some Video and watch a dvd in a window at the same time for example (hence I have a x2)....but the majority will not be interested in that I think.
Tatty_One said:Yes of course but who buys the tyres before they have bought the car? To use one or two games as a reason a gamer should buy a dual core TODAY TBH is not an arguement, he should buy it tomorrow when there are 50 games and the CPU is 50% of the price, just look how much dual cores have come down in price in the last 6 weeks alone! I bet you could almost get 2 of yours today for the price you paid and how many games will really fully utilise it?

Alec§taar said:It's been my point all along in fact... you don't get a PC just to play games, not by a longshot!
And, that means what, vs. what I stated above?
It doesn't change the fact that SMP & multithreading is & has been the design of softwares and OS' for more than a decade now & it shows definite overall gains (even on consoles, which for example, the xbox360 uses an NT-based OS core, AND consoles today use multiple CPU/SMP designs also - why is that?)
Did I say that wouldn't happen? No. With single core apps it is how it is... but, note the Quake 4 SMP gains over its early single-thread designs (25%-87% depending on CPU type used (HT vs. true SMP/DualCore)... again - there's talk here of "future proofing" one's self... & if you think SMP ready/multithreaded games are NOT the future?
Well, see the Quake 4 SMP stuff above.
I think they will be... especially if buying CPU's today, for the games of tomorrow (of which Quake 4 SMP truly IS the prototype view/look @ the future)...

Tatty_One said:Completely right, so buy it tomorrow then if your a gamer which was my point and the fact that the majority use their PC mainly for gaming. I have no doubts as to the strenghts of dual core.....I have one after all but I do have doubts as to if it is worth buying TODAY for someone who almost exclusively uses their PC for games and I think you will find that there are a lot of them out there.

Alec§taar said:They're wasting a PC then, & should have gaming consoles... but note & affirm this for me (since you guys like to seem to evade my points about this & circle back to gaming all the time):
The XBox360 or other gaming consoles: Do they, or do they not, use SMP designs (multiple CPU cores present) first of all?
Secondly, in the case of the XBox360 specifically: Does it use an NT-based OS core, & is that core SMP ready??

Tatty_One said:but that was not my point, they choose to hence my comments in my first post, will a console send e mails(some probably)
