Les Quad Core sont-ils vraiment nécessaires ?
Nos confrères anglophones du site BCCHardware ont comparé le Core 2 Duo Extreme X6800 et l'Extreme QX6700 Quad Core... Lequel l'emportera au vu des résultats ? Deux coeurs ou quatre coeurs ?
[BCCHardware] We have just posted up a look at the two latest and great desktop processors from Intel. We've had the extreme pleasure of looking at the Core 2 Duo Extreme X6800 and the Extreme QX6700 Quad Core CPU. We compare the best dually against the best quad available and take a look and see how two extra cores affect general usage, applications and today's games. The results are not that surprising as we haven't seen many multi-threaded applications that take advantage of four cores, but we still got some pretty sweet overclocks out of these processors. Take a look at the article for in-depth coverage.
