With Intel's' release of the new intel i7 praising it as the "best desktop processors on the planet." We go in depth to see how much faster it is than its predecessors. Intels new i7 has Intel HT (Hyper Threading) Technology and The two i7's range in Clock speed from 2.66 GHz to 2.93 GHz. They both have 8 Processing thread, WOW! barely any games or programs are multi threaded; but apparently Intel knows the future. so far it looks like the i7 has a lot of power and with its specs seems that their technology is ahead of its time. here are the rest of the specs:
2.93 GHz and 2.66 GHz core speed
8 processing threads with Intel® HT technology
8 MB of Intel® Smart Cache
3 Channels of DDR3 1066 MHz memory
also the i7 requires a new motherboard with its new 1366 pin count and 3 channels of DDR3 memory.
Now for the Core 2 Quad. The Core 2 Quad works with the LGA 775 Pin count (you just need a good FSB). The clock speeds range from 2.00 GHz to 3.00 GHz. The Quad also uses DDR3 or DDR2. They both use 45-Nanometer technology. Overall they are relatively the same it all depends on if you are buying a new system or upgrading your own, also money you are willing to throw down. If you are planning to upgrade your current system and you have an LGA 775 Motherboard i would personally go with the Core 2 Quad processor if i was buying new and had the money most likely the i7 to stay ahead of the game. When it comes down to the end they are both outstanding processors based on the specs.
