Toms Hardware Guide have gotten hold of a Core 2 Quadro and run it through a battery of tests. Not surprisingly the Quad Core processor is between 0 and 25% faster than a dual core most of the time, but occasionally achieves double the performance when situations are suitable. Overclocked to 3.33 GHz, the Core 2 Quadro scored 10,722 in 3DMark05. Can't scoff at that. Also not surprisingly though, THG made foolish game test choices. Never mind, they're trying.
