Core i7-6700 vs Core 2 Quad Q8200 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-6700 performs better than the Core 2 Quad Q8200. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Quad Q8200 in all gaming tests too.
Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Core i7-6700 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-6700 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 2 Quad Q8200. A Core i7-6700 CPU outputs less heat than a Core 2 Quad Q8200 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core 2 Quad Q8200 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i7-6700
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-6700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
