Quake 4 is the latest shooter from ID and is based on the
Doom 3 engine. Tweaked to for more eye candy, Quake 4 promises to be tougher on
videocards and systems than its predecessor was. Quake 4 also does not have a 60
fps limiter like Doom 3, with the Ultra setting, graphic textures can surpass
the 500MB mark!

The benchmark results for the video game Quake 4 are
certainly very interesting. The FPS results indicate that CPU L2 cache plays a
large role, since even the single core Athlon64 4000+ performs faster than the
Athlon64 X2 5000+ processor under HQ 1024x768 conditions. Intel shows us once
again that it does not have the best gaming CPU out there.
