[news 28]

Hi all,

 

We have just published a review of Intel Core 2 Duo E8500, E8400 and

E8200 - if you could post a link on your site that would be very much

appreciated.*

*Quote: Just like the QX9650 and QX9770 the 45nm products are the ones

to aim for if you're considering and Intel upgrade, however /unlike/ the

Extreme Edition CPUs, the Wolfdales are *affordable*. In fact, every CPU

featured was affordable, the only exception is the Q6700 at £311.

 

If you're heavily into multi-threaded applications or serious

multi-tasking, then a quad-core processor will offer a greater

performance and space to breath. If you're a gamer though, a high

clocked dual-core with plenty of memory bandwidth is certainly the way

to go - the Wolfdales will oblige in every aspect.

 

 

Cheers guys!
