Ok so these are the results for cpu test for amd and intel on 3D mark 06 cpu test

Intel Cpu testing rig spec:
Mobo: D975XBX
Ram: 2Gb DDR2-800 Ram
GPU: MSI 7900GTX

AMD Cpu Testing rig spec:
Mobo: nForce 590
Ram:2Gb DDR2-800 Ram
GPU: MSI 7900GTX

Scores:
Core 2 Extreme QX6700: 4152
Core 2 Extreme X6800: 2578
Core 2 Duo E6700: 2346
Athlon 64 FX-62: 2188

as you can see the Core 2 Extreme QX6700 with quad core gets the most frames in this test. but you will see a slight change when tested with a game.

Game: Quake 4 same rig running at 1280x1024
Core 2 Extreme X6800: 127
Core 2 Duo E6700: 116
Core 2 Extreme QX6700: 115
Athlon 64 FX-62: 98

pharoah

ive seen similar results between dual,and single core.the one with the higher clock frequency beats out the one with lower.that tells ya quake 4 really isnt quad core optimized.
