[QUESTION]which is better xeon e5620 or intel q6600?

[Hassan EL-Bagouri]

hey guys

in front of me this two processors

intel xeon e5620 2.4 ghz quad core and intel q6600 2.4 ghz quad core

i will use them most properly for gaming and some rendering but mostly for gaming so which will be better for me?

if u ask about ram will be 8-12 gb and same gpu (suggest one for AAA games)(N.P was gtx 970)

with ssd and hdd.

thanks in advance

i know but i got everything and forgot to get a motherboard and processor and intel xeon will cost be a little bit more but i will be close to my budget and q6600 price too

Firstly Q6600 does overclock to about 3.4GHz, but lacks hyperthreading. Xeon on the other hand does not overclock, but has hyperthreading. 

Personally I would not pick either of those for gaming. Clock speeds on both CPU-s are too low for modern AAA games. And Q6600 even at 3.4GHz is still old as mummy sh*t in today`s standards.

The Xeon is the better CPU. It is newer and has  4 cores 8 threads while the q6600 has only 4 cores. In addition to that the Xeon features a better architektures. But keep in mind that you will need a FCLGA1366 socket board for the Xeon while the Q6600 requires a LGA775 socket. 1366 mainboards are way more expensive then 775 ones. I would even consider a Ryzen 5 1400 if you can afford it. When you compare CPUs from different architektures you can't just compare the frequenzy, improvements in IPC and architekture can result in a higher clocked old CPU performing worse then a lower clocked new CPU. Make sure that you check that your ram features the right standard (DDR2, DDR3, DDR4).

i am not searching for today shitty specs i am making a low end gaming pc i will not buy gtx 970 since i need money so any other processors less shittier but not expensive the prices is quiet high in my country and it's hard to find new hardware so i will depend on the old use processors

You say GPU will be 970 and then you say it won't? Can you get to a final decision regarding the GPU pls?

since it will be extreme bottlenicking so i have to degrade a bit since i want to play AAA games

If you degrade it more you won't be able to play AAA games lol

can u suggest at least a processor in same range that can run gtx 970 or a gpu good enough for AAA games

I don't about your local market but in my country the one you propose (the xeon one) is 50 dollars more expensive than my suggestion lol

old and used

and i will cost me to get it with 12 gb of ram and motherboard and case and psu for 100 dollars only

for your knowledge i wish to come to canada so i can buy components as i want to i can try every thing
