Intel Core i5 vs Quad-Core Q8300

Hi,

"The i5 with 4 cores without hesitation!"

A quad-core also has 4 cores, and that said, a quad-core can prove to be more efficient in terms of frequency and especially in terms of cache memory; an i5 or i7 also only have 8MB and the quad has 12MB of cache, however, it is true that quads will soon disappear.

"LGA1156 socket with 32nm process"

Some i5s have a 45nm process, you need to be careful...

Hello,

I’m a little late, but:

a quad can turn out to be better than an i5, in terms of frequency and cache memory, they are currently more performant than i5s. It’s true that quads are outdated and replaced by the new "i" range from Intel, but they still remain more efficient...

Regarding the 8GB of RAM, I find it unnecessary; even 6GB can be fine, but I don’t see the utility of 8GB.

Next, a motherboard for an i5 processor is more upgradable, as you could put in an i7 processor in a year or more, but with a quad motherboard, you cannot.

Check the link from my first post, you will see the range of the new "i", including the i3, i5, i7, and i9.

Best regards,

the i5 with 4 cores without hesitation! equipped with QPI and the new LGA1156 socket, manufactured in 32nm, finally so many interesting things!! not to mention that dual and quad will soon disappear from sales ^^

there, I think I've said it all...

"not to mention that dual and quad will soon disappear from the market ^^ "

you mean "core 2" duo/quad ;)

i5, take into account what r@zer-pro says

a+

and +1 for r@zer-pro!!^^

Yes, take into account what Razer says. I've outlined the situation, but in the details, choose your i5 carefully. However, I think the two of us have given you the solutions to your problem...
Best regards.

thank you thank you "tofix"

but where is your +1? I don't see it ^^

that said, yes you still need to get an i5_750 socket 1156 because with the motherboard that will go with it (1156) the PC will be more upgradable in the future (personal opinion and advice)

but I see that we all have the same opinion ^^

best regards

yes we're tuned in to the same frequency ^^ good luck to you wywy 22 and see you soon on another topic everyone (tofix, razer)

yes good luck to you "wywy22" and see you soon "nagrom20"

Thank you for your response, but the Intel Quad-Core Q8300 is cheaper than the i5.

Why are quad cores going to disappear? Are they too power-hungry?

you can't have it all!!! but the i5 remains the best quality/price ratio at the moment

it's the old generation, that's all, but your question is just out of curiosity or are you hesitating to buy? because the socket is not the same...

GTA IV won't start? does it give you an error message? is it buggy? well yes... it's GTA IV

I bought a computer with 8 GB of RAM and an Intel Quad Core Q8300, and I would like to know if I made a good choice.

yes, it still makes for a good PC and you didn't have much choice since it's a socket 775
if you wanted to get an "upgradable" processor, you would have needed to change your motherboard...

GTA IV won't launch? is it giving you an error message? is it bugging out? well yeah... it's GTA IV

the i5 750 is also a quad core -_-"

hi "nero"

who doesn't know that? ^^

however, the i5_6xx only have 2 cores. then you have to choose between the 6xx which have hyper-threading, and higher frequency but less cache memory and a different manufacturing process. you need to choose between all that.

I prefer 4 cores and more cache memory over having higher frequency and hyper-threading.

that's it

@+

no, it's just that you talk about quads as if they were a range, the Core 2 Quad is a quad just like the i7, i5 750, and Phenom II X4!

And then the manufacturing process only serves to reduce consumption, to run cooler, and to be able to fit a lot of stuff in the processor case ^^, performance-wise, 45 or 32 nm is the same thing ;)

HT makes games unstable while the performance gain in compatible software with bi-CPU is quite significant, so it depends on what you want to do with it!
