Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q6600

The Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 is a desktop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads. It launched in Jan 2007. It uses the FCLGA775 socket. Rated TDP is 105 W.

The Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 scores 953 in single-core performance and 1,849 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 1,327 for overall performance, 2,536 for productivity performance, 2,732 for creator performance, 1,780 for engineering performance and 3,321 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 462 per core, 462 per thread and 18 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 130. Its performance index is 16, so its overall performance is 84% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 scores 7,948 in integer math, 3,926 in floating-point math, 40,119 in compression, 497 in cryptography, 160 in physics simulation, 745 in vector SIMD, 10 in the prime sieve and 5,241 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 87% below in integer math, 91% below in floating-point math, 82% below in compression, 96% below in cryptography, 85% below in physics simulation, 95% below in vector SIMD, 85% below in the prime sieve and 77% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 has 4 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.40 GHz.

The Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 is a desktop processor and belongs to the Intel Core 2 family. It launched in Jan 2007.

The Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 has 256 KB of L1 cache and 8 MB of L2 cache. That adds up to about 8.3 MB of cache, or 2.06 MB per core.

The Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 has a 2-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB and L2 at 8 MB. L2 is the largest level and makes up about 97% of the cache listed here.
