However, the now six-year-old Core i5-2500K kept its cool, delivering slightly better performance than the Skylake Core i3-6100 processor. Intel's fourth-generation budget Pentium processor did a better job, though it wasn't exactly smooth either. Even overclocking the Q6600 to 3.1GHz didn't get it out of trouble as minimum frame rates still dipped into the teens. Worse still, stuttering was a massive issue and we often saw the average frame rate cut in half as the system halted.

The Core 2 Quad Q6600 really struggled in Battlefield 1, delivering just 26fps on average at 1080p with the GeForce GTX 1060 handling the rendering.

Quite a load is going to be placed on these aging processors as we test some of the most CPU-intensive games released in the last year to see if the Q6600 can cope with such a burden. No software, drivers or accessories are included unless shown in the photographs. All CPUs will be benchmarked using the two Pascal graphics processors to establish some comparisons. We'll also throw in a Haswell dual-core Pentium, a Skylake Core i3, a Sandy Bridge Core i5 and the mighty Core i7-6700K.

In other words, what would happen if you paired a trusty old PC with a GeForce GTX 1060 or GTX 1070. Released about 10 years ago, we thought it would be interesting to see how the Q6600 holds up in 2017 while playing today's games on modern GPUs.

Though its ridiculous asking price of $1,000 ensured few would take the plunge, even with four unlocked cores operating at 2.67GHz, it was the fastest CPU money could buy back in 2006.įortunately, it was only a few months later when enthusiasts were blessed with the Core 2 Quad Q6600, another Kentsfield-based quad-core chip that sold for a less absurd $530.Īlthough the part was locked at a frequency of 2.4GHz, we were still able to overclock via the front side bus back then, allowing us to boost the Q6600 from its stock 2.4GHz operating frequency to well over 3GHz! By no surprise, it quickly became one of Intel's most popular enthusiast-grade processors of all time. For servers and workstations, core 2 extremes were also dual core with higher clock and bus. Support, intel core 2 quad cpu benchmarks. This processor uses intel's new core microarchitecture, which is the current leader in performance and power consumption.
