HCW Reviews Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 "Wolfdale"

Recommended Posts

We have just published ourreview of the Intel Core 2 Duo

E8500<http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-368-1.htm>.'>http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-368-1.htm>.

This is one of Intel's latest Dual-Core processors, and certainly their best

that can be had for under $200.

 

In the review, we compare it against the Core 2 Duo E6750, which it

essentially replaces for the same price, as well as AMD's current top

dual-core, the Athlon 64 X2 6400+. Finally, the Core 2 Quad Q6600 is

included, since it has dropped in price to the point where it is just about

the same as the E8500. What's better, a pair of newer, faster cores, or four

slower cores based on slightly older architecture? Read on to find out!

 

We also push this CPU to its air-cooled limits in order to see how far it

will overclock. The results were pretty surprizing to say the least!
