Intel QuadCore 6600 or Intel Core 2 e8400 Which runs cooler?

[zip3132]

Which CPu would run cooler the Intel Quadcore6600 @ 2.4 Ghz or the Intel Core 2 Duo E 8400 @ 3.0 Ghz ??

8800? Wrong kind of processor

Dualcores basically always run cooler than quadcores, though, for what it's worth.

E8400

45nm + 2 fewer cores = less heat output

e8400

E8400 hands down

umm... I'd like to pick the one everyone else is picking

The Q6600 is TWO die (two cores each), and are made with 65nm process
The E8400 is ONE die (two cores each), and it is made with 45nm process.

So the E8400.

E8400 by a mile.

Of course the E8400 runs cooler. But I'd personally go with a Q6600 because they're a steal right now. Fans are cheap.
