Benchmarks
System setup
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 and Xeon 3040 processors were tested using different system
components, that are identified by MB, RAM and VID columns
in the tables below. The numbers in each of these columns correspond
to one of motherboards (MB), memory configurations (RAM) or graphics
adapters (VID), listed below:
MB - Motherboard(s):
1. ASROCK 4CORE1600TWINS-P35
2. INTEL DP965LT
RAM - Memory:
1. 2 GB DUAL-CHANNEL CORSAIR CM3X1024-1333C9 DDR3
2. 2GB DUAL-CHANNEL CORSAIR CM2X1024-6400C4
VID - Video card(s):
1. POWERCOLOR 24PRO256M DDR2 (ATI RADEON HD2400)
All tests were performed at default frequency and voltage, using manufacturer's stock fan/heatsink. None of the components were overclocked. Motherboard BIOS options were left at default settings.
The results of all benchmarks are broken into four categories: multi-threaded, single-threaded, memory intensive and graphics / gaming.
Core 2 Quad Q6600 vs Xeon 3040 single-threaded benchmarks
Single-threaded benchmarks run on a single CPU core, and do not depend
on such features as the number of cores, or Hyper-Threading
technology. Additionally, they do not utilize on-chip caches,
dedicated to other cores.

Core 2 Quad Q6600 vs Xeon 3040 graphics benchmarks
Graphics benchmarks depend on the type of integrated or discrete
graphics adapter, and to less extent on the processor performance.
Because these benchmarks are synthetic, they may not truly represent
gaming performance. However, they still can be used to estimate whether
one processor will perform faster or slower than another CPU
in games and other 3D tasks.

Core 2 Quad Q6600 vs Xeon 3040 memory performance
Memory-intensive tests or programs move large amounts of data to/from
memory, and they depend more on memory throughput and the size of
on-chip caches, rather than on CPU integer/FP/SIMD performance.

CPUIDs
The table below compares support for x86 extensions and technologies,
as well as individual instructions and low-level features of the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
and Intel Xeon 3040 microprocessors. Information in this table was
retrieved from actual processors using CPUID instruction, and we also
utilized internal timer to measure CPU frequency. Be aware that all
technologies, disabled in BIOS or by a virtual machine, will be shown as not
supported.
Different steppings of Intel processors may also have slightly different features.
In rare cases, measured frequency may differ from official specifications.
