drumsonly2002 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Quad core vs Dual core question. I can get a faster dual core E8600 @ 3.33 ghz (plus it is a good over clocker) vs the trusty I7 920. The i7 920 overclocks nicely also. I appreciate the advice from you pro's as I am saving to buy parts / computer this winter for FSX. Thank you for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Routley Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 The other issue memory bandwidth ... and in that department, the i7 platform is a pretty clear winner. X58 Chipset, with Socket 1366 i7 is the best platform at the moment. There are a number of threads. This is not to say that an OC 8600 wouldn;t be good ... just a overclocked i7 would most likely be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
