The Core 2 range was the last flagship range of Intel desktop processors to use a front-side bus. The single- and dual-core models are single- die, whereas the quad-core models comprise two dies, each containing two cores, packaged in a multi-chip module. Intel Core 2 is the processor family encompassing a range of Intel's consumer 64-bit x86-64 single-, dual-, and quad-core microprocessors based on the Core microarchitecture. Allendale, Conroe, Conroe-L, Merom-2M, Merom, Merom-L, Kentsfield, Wolfdale, Yorkfield, Penryn.Theoretically, the bottleneck of the processor is in the motherboard, RAM, GPU, and even the PSU. Furthermore, if you take a CPU and put it in one computer to test, it will get different results than if you put it into another computer with different hardware. Something that you have to realize is that if you have the same computer running the same test back to back, the tests will not always be the exact same. We wanted to give it a real world test that it was actually likely to encounter. Sure, we could have thrown it in a computer with 3 – GTX 295’s and found the bottle neck, but that wasn’t the point of these tests.
So what we did is put an upper-middle grade GPU with an upper middle grade processor to see how it would perform. They’re usually not going to have 2 – GTX295’s in SLI. Most people that go and buy a Q9400 are just doing so to have a Quad Core.
While I Do agree with you, the bottleneck of games is in the GPU, there comes a point where we try to push reality into the picture. Intel® Stable Image Platform Program (Intel® SIPP) Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q9400 (6M Cache, 2.66 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) We’ll check out it’s underlying technologies as well as check see how it fares on the bench after the break. The Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 Processor is one such processor featuring a 2.66 GHz clock speed and 6MB of L2 cache. The Q9xxx series introduced faster 1333 MHz front side buses, SSE4 and the aforementioned 45nm manufacturing process. These were Intel’s long waited 45nm quad-core processors code-named, Yorkfield. In March of 2008, Intel released their Core 2 Quad Q9000 series of processors.
