Core 2 quad q6600 vs i3-3220

Jul 15, 2018 8:37AM PDT

I have read a lot of conflicting information on this. Some sites say the i3 is better, others say the q6600. If you guys know which is better in games, please post your opinions. Should i move the motherboard with the i3 in my main system with a c2q q6600 or should i get a i5 or i7? It' ht and newer architecture for the i3 and more cores for the c2q.

Neither one is a serious gamer but it's best of the choices.
