Ankiel Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I am building myself a new Hackintosh to develop on. I like running Eclipse though I sometimes use IntelliJ. I am wondering if anyone has any insight on the best processor to get. I am leaning towards a Intel Q9450 (2.66 Quad core) but I'm wondering if I'd get better performance from a dual core with a higher clock speed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Synaesthesia Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 If the compiler is well threaded you will get way better performance on a Quad core. I'd say go for the Quad.
