quad vs dual core

[Cujo]

i find these results fascinating. looks like the extra cache on the quad is enough to push it past a higher clocked dual.

Things will improve with the quads once the software catches up to the hardware technology.I also think the testing would be better if they added more common OC's than the 3.6 and what not that they did there. Some more moderate 2.8 and 3.0 would be interesting as a more realistic comparison.
