Suggested PSU: We assume that we have An ATX computer case, a high end graphics card, 16GB RAM, a 512GB SSD, a 1TB HDD hard drive, a Blu-Ray drive. We will have to rely on a more powerful power supply if we want to have several graphics cards, several monitors, more memory, etc.
Price: For technical reasons, we cannot currently display a price less than 24 hours, or a real-time price. This is why we prefer for the moment not to show a price. You should refer to the respective online stores for the latest price, as well as availability.
We see that the two processors have an equivalent number of cores, the turbo frequency of Intel Core i5-760 is bigger, that the thermal dissipation power of Intel Core i5-760 is less. The Intel Core i5-760 was started more recently.
Performance comparison with the benchmarks:
Performance comparison between the two processors, for this we consider the results generated on benchmark software such as Geekbench.

Buenas a todos
Es la primera vez que escribo, así que saludos a todos.
La cuestión que me ha llevado a escribir es que me han regalado una placa base dell con un i5 760 y 10 gb de RAM ddr3. Yo actualmente tengo un q6600 a 3 GHz con 8 gigas de RAM ddr 2.
La duda que me asalta es, que es mejor el i5 de serie o el q6600 a 3 GHz?
Un saludo y gracias por vuestro tiempo.

Buscando un poco he encontrado esto.
Media de resultados del i5-760 -> 4750 puntos. ( Fuente )
Resultado del q6600 a 3 GHz -> 4284 puntos. ( Fuente )
La diferencia es minima pero entre eso y el paso de DDR2 a DDR3 algo se deberia de notar.
Suerte!

Pues hombre, el i5 es 3 años más reciente, con arquitectura de 45nm (frente a los 65nm del Q6600) que supone un menor consumo, incluye turbo boost y soporta memoria ddr3. Mas datos comparativos:

Aunque le hayas hecho OC al Q6600, si te han regalado el i5 cambiate a ese.
PD: Que conste que he tenido un Q6600 desde hace 7 años hasta que me le cambie hace un mes y sigue funcionando genial.

Asi, para acortar todo.
El i5 le vuela la cabeza al Core 2 Quad. Aunque al Q6600 le hagas un overclock muy basto, el i5 gana.
Asique, bueno, si te han regalado ese i5, disfrutalo! xD
