este teste não é meu claro mas achei interessante colocar aqui porque fala-se muito da importância de ter um dual-core ou quad-core para jogos.

Conclusion
So while the overclocking results look just great, there are things to be concerned about with 45nm. One more thing I didn’t graph out here was the re-encoding of video. Using the multi-threaded ConvertX to DVD the E8500 was able to encode at about 350 FPS, where the quad was about 320 FPS. So even in the one thing that quads would excel at the sheer frequency of the E8500 won out.
This was disappointing and unexpected. In the future as games begin to use more threads this will change, but who knows how much longer it’s going to take. A recently released game STALKER Clear Sky is only single threaded! Quad cores have been on the market for a few years and the games that actually take advantage of them are few and far between. Lost Planet is definitely faster with a quad, but that’s one game and not a favorite of mine. Gamers overclocking and looking for the best gaming performance should be looking at 45nm dual cores; I can’t believe I’m even saying that. As someone hell bent on keeping the quad in my machine because there was a placebo effect of it feeling smoother I’m truly surprised by the results. In my previous tests with C0 45nm E8400s the overclocking range topped out between 4.2 – 4.3Ghz. When I benchmarked at those speeds the gap was closer and the Q6600 still looked competitive. However with the new E0 stepping and overclocking range closing in on 4.6Ghz the Q6600 just can’t keep up. We hope you enjoyed this look at two monster overclockers! Now get out there and overclock!!
