| frybread said: No point in having a quad core since few games take advantage right now. 2.0ghz dual core, overclocked to 3.0ghz. When it burns out I'll get quad. |
its not about running single application.. i haven't played a game on my Core 2 Quad.. but overall resposiveness and multitasking is a lot better on Core 2 Quad.. window switching is so much easier and smoother in Core 2 quad that even if u have dozenn windows of different application runing than u don't have to go around closing all of them before opening Photoshop or maltab.
Thats a wrong notation that core 2 quad doesn't increase performance on a single application so no need. u don't have to worry if virus scan initiate while u r playing the game.. other core will take care of it..
These benchmark although give a good estimate of certain applications under isolation but they fail to show the benefits or disadvantages in daily usage scanerios.
