    Hi, is Intel i7-950 better than Intel Quad Core 2 Q9550? I dont really know if i7-950 is better because Quad Core 2 Q9550 cost more and have higher Cache... What's Better: Intel i7-950 or Intel Quad Core 2 Q9550?

    yer comparing apples to oranges...i7 is newer technology, its needs a different mobo, RAM than the QC2. The Q9550 might have a higher clock rate and cost more, but the i7 does more work. Older hardware gets more expensive because of supply and demand, not because its faster or better.
