  Q6600 @ 3.85Ghz vs. E0 E8500 @ 4.5Ghz Performance Review Author: Dean Nottis Date: September 28, 2008
Introduction I have a non-stop need to tweak, overclock and push hardware. With a little care and patience (I have little) I manage to get some decent overclocked results with most the hardware I touch. Armed with my L745A Q6600 and Q822A E8500 (E0) I wanted to get to the bottom of this.
There are a couple of things to note. I didn’t use Vista and DX10 for obvious reasons. I hate seeing a 10% performance for no reason whatsoever. I’d run XP over Vista anyday, however I dual boot so Vista is never far away. It’s just not my main gaming OS, I prefer to pull every last frame out of my gaming rig. For the most part we’ve tested using the HOC Bench utilites bcause its easier to give a duplicatable result. Anyone can fire it up choose the default tests with different resolution and see how their system compares. I had run tests with Fraps as well but the results echoed the results with the HOC Bench so I decided to leave those results out.
Test Bed CPU: Intel Q6600 L745A G0 3.825Ghz @ 1.44vCPU: Intel E8500 Q822A E0 4.51Ghz @ 1.37v
The most common resolution for gamers is 1680x1050. Sorry, but I don’t have a 24” and I would rather run Anti-Aliasing than a higher resolution anyways. Don’t expect to see any resolutions higher.
