HobieCat Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Are core 2 Quads allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Says Core 2 family, so yes - duals and quads:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoMS Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Is E6XXX Wolfdale (eg. E6500K or E6600 ) fine to use in this competition or only old E6XXX Conroe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasparthe Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Pentium and Celeron duals aren't Core 2. I was assuming it was only dual cores but perhaps quads are included... I don't see any posted yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikecdm Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Several of these classes, like the E2xxx, E3xxx, E5xxx no actual Core 2 cpu exist. They are either celeron or pentium dual core, but they are all based on the core 2 architecture and part of the core 2 family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 They are allowed. The competition is for the Core 2 family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Jacques Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 E3000 has only Celerons. E2000 has only Pentium DCs. Pentium E6xxx can participate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Yeah. They're based on the Core 2 technology at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilusindo Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 It's very not fair if Q6xxx meet E6xxx in UCbench. In SuperPi E6xxx still can compete with Q6xxx . But it's ok, let's hunting Q6600 G0 SLACR . It's mean Q8xxx allowed too for stage Core 2 8000 series... right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasparthe Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Yes, it does. I do agree with you and don't much understand why this wasn't limited to just dual cores. A Quad makes every other dual core chip irrelevant. The 6000 series has 19 dual cores and 6 quads (3 are Extreme chips) and only the Q6600 is common (Sorry all you Q6400 users out there). So why limit the stage so severely and really make the Q6600 the only chip to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Huh? There are many quads - did someone say the QX chips are not allowed? In reality you need certain cpus to be able to compete in any such competition. E6320 won't do much good here even if you only allow duals, for example. This principle does not change if we allow quads or not. Still, it says Core 2 series, and quads are definately a part of that series.

Rasparthe Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I don't have a problem with the rules, certain chips will always be better. By having a pool of (in the 6000 series) 19 dual chips to choose from would allow for more people to be competitive. By excluding the majority of the chips (and I don't mean that the 6320 is just a poor choice against a 6850 but that the very best dual on LN2 can't even catch a quad on Air) you are essentially making the rules read: Use only Q6400 - not even list on HWBOT, Q6600, Q6700, QX6700, QX6800, or QX6850. Again I don't have problem with it, I own both, just trying to make a point that by limiting the contest to duals would have provided a wider field of scores and a great deal more interesting scores since all the duals are at least in the same realm of scores.

knopflerbruce Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 There was a seller who had a few a long time ago, so I bought them while they were still available. He had 3 models, q7500, q7600 and q7700. Pretty rare chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
