Grambler Posted July 16, 2008 Author CID Share Posted July 16, 2008 Why Core 2, and not Quad core? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker9075 Posted July 16, 2008 CID Share Posted July 16, 2008 Why Core 2, and not Quad core? Quad cores are more expensive, and most applications and games don't even utilize the full potential of the cpu yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted July 16, 2008 CID Share Posted July 16, 2008 Why Core 2, and not Quad core? Simply because games don't use quad cores, they are not threaded to take advantage of all cores. They are just starting to use 2 core to some of there potential. You can also get a core 2 that is faster then a quad core for cheaper. Use the money saved to go for a faster hard drive, or more ram.
