Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 review
Specifications
The Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 review
is one of your best values all around when it comes to Intel computer processors. Amongst the lime light of a quad core
computer cpu reviews you would think that a dual core would be old news. However, you will see it is all within the eyes of the
beholder!
Size - 45nm
Speed - 3ghz
Bus Speed - 1333mhz
Socket - LGA 775
Voltage - 1.36w
Overview
When you get the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 you will immediately notice one thing. The thing you will notice is the smaller
transistor size (45nm). This has been done to help with energy consumption and to lower the historically high temps
of a computer cpu with a larger size. The Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 review has recognized that this can help you ramp up the
speed of this computer cpu.
One feature that is not talked about a lot are the 2 caches within this Intel Core 2 duo E8400. They provide support to
memory and bandwith functions when the computer RAM is unable to quickly transmit the information. This usually happens
when you are dealing with a large chunk of information. I am sure you know of the lagging and long wait times it seems
to have a hard time with. Hopefully it is not enough time for you to make a sandwich! Intel's Smart Memory Access and
Advanced Smart Cache handles all these problems with intuitive processes.
You will be surprised to hear me say this, but this dual core can easily compete on level with the quad cores and maybe
even beat them in some games that aren't specifically made to utilize the complexities of a quad core. However, when you
run burn in test in your own Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 review, you will see it lacks behind the quad cores. It is a great all around computer cpu that can do the most
powerful game and then turn into a business computer cpu at the drop of a hat.
I believe the most people will love how much this computer cpu can overclock with just air and a change in voltage. I am
not saying that it won't get hot just because it is 45nm, but it will definitely increase exponentially because of the
lack of cores to spread work too. An overclock over 1ghz above 3ghz is easy to get and be stable with a decent heatsink
and fan. If you had watercooling and a good system you could probably make your way to 5ghz if you are one of those elite
overclockers.
Price
You can purchase the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
for around $160 at an online retailer. I checked the Black Friday deals and it seems that they are still not up to
par with the regular deals online. Funny thing is online retailers have Black Friday deals as well. I wouldn't be
surprised if this drops down to $100 bucks during holidays.
