Core2 Quad Q9650
- The Core2 Quad Q9650 has more cores. The benefit of having more cores is that the system can handle more threads. Each core can handle a separate stream of data. This architecture greatly increases the performance of a system that is running concurrent applications.
- The Core2 Quad Q9650 has more threads. Larger programs are divided into threads (small sections) so that the processor can execute them simultaneously to get faster execution.
Athlon II X3 460
- The Athlon II X3 460 has higher Level 2 Cache. Data/instructions which have to be processed can be loaded from the fast L2 and the CPU does not have to wait for the very slow DDR RAM
- For some games, a cpu with a higher clock speed, or in a technical name IPC (Instructions per clock), has better results than other CPU's with higher core count and lower core speed.
