CPU benchmark says that Pentium Dual Core E6700 gets much higher score than Core 2 Duo E6700... But some people say that Core 2 Duo is better because it's newer and have more L2 cache. Could anyone tell me which one is better for gaming such as GTA 4 or CoD MW2? Thanks!

In 90% of cases for a gaming setup the graphics card has more of an impact than the processor.

Then they, and maybe you!

need to do more homework.

As seen here, the Pentium Dual Core E6700 came out in Q2 of 2010, while the Core 2 Duo E6700 came out, as seen here, nearly 4 years earlier in Q3 of 2006!
