The Macbook Pros uses the T9400 Duo core which is faster that the Q9000. Remember the quads are new so they haven't reached the best they can be and the best 2 Duo cores are better than the first quad cores. The q9000 has a 2000mhz and a 7.5x clock multiplier while the T9400 has a 2533mhz with a 9x clock multiplier making it faster.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS IS AMAZING! HE'S RETARDED LOL!
I have learned from a forum that you are saying that dual cores are better than quads and AMD is only good for gaming. Not so Quads run at 3.2 Ghz and higher when overclocked, and as time goes on they get cheaper and developers are utilizing all four cores, Also not only is AMD good for gaming they are also good for the other things that you do with a computer.(which is what?) So next time go into an argument without any facts at least do some research might I recomend tom's hardware. http://www.tomshardware.com/us/
Also if good did not make the universe why are we here?
That bit at the end is gonna make him think you're an idiot. There's no point in trying to talk to him about beliefs, he's probably so extreme that he would ignore any of your logic... kind of what atheists hate about religious people, lol.
Quads are already optimized in a lot of applications, no need to wait really. It's good that you didn't flame him at least.
I try to be civil again but guess idiots like can't be civil. Now idiot you are telling me the T9400 a $600 chip is slower than the Q9000 which is half the price and is clearly slower when you look at the specks. Come on idiot use your single digit IQ brain.
I say:
umm, yeah i am. The t9400 costs more because it's a LAPTOP cpu, which means that it is completely different when compared to a DESKTOP cpu like the q6600, you fucking moron.
Too bad you don't have a brain. The specks tells you the speed of the processor and it clearly says the the T9400 is faster; too bad you are too dumb to understand that.
I Say:
YOU'RE FUCKING RETARDED, YES IT SAYS IT'S FASTER, IS A PENTIUM 4 AT 3GHZ FASTER THAN A CORE 2 DUO AT 2.2GHZ?
ALSO: it's SPECS, short for SPECIFICATIONS not SPECKS
