Zertz Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Going through it now, but wow.. 22GB/s memory bandwidth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I was hoping for more of an increase in the gaming tests. Looks like my quad has a lot more life left to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Like the review said, until games start depending more on multiple cores, don't expect too much of a bump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Like the review said, until games start depending more on multiple cores, don't expect too much of a bump. When games use multiple cores better my lowly Q6600 will wake up as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Good point, but the performance enhancements of the Nehalem processors will still blow our Q6600s away when that day comes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC10281982B Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 When games use multiple cores better my lowly Q6600 will wake up as well. I'm with you there. Good point, but the performance enhancements of the Nehalem processors will still blow our Q6600s away when that day comes Good point. and I was hoping to not have to upgrade... ever... I must say that I'm annoyed that multi core procs have been out as long as they have and games don't seem to be using the power, imho. According to this newer stuff like crysis uses mutiple cores. When playing warhead I've noticed that core 4 stays at about 75% but the other 3 jump all over the place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Well, if you think about it, how much are games really going to benefit from utilizing multiple cores? You see huge leaps in performance from GPU upgrades, not CPU upgrades. New processors are great for applications that require a fast processor, as indicated in the first couple of tests, most notably the encoding tests. Those results were quite impressive.

NCC10281982B Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 true. oh well, i've never been able to get the performance I think I should (these reviews get my hopes up) and my rig is a couple of generations behind the times anyway.

Bosco Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 It will be intresting on how performance boards and good memory play out as they start to come out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
