In case of popular Core 2 processors with 1066/1333MHz FSB, it makes sense to use dual-channel memory of much higher bandwidth than the nominal FSB can provide. If we consider DDR2-667 the reference point, fast DDR2 or DDR3 memory can bring a 6-8% performance gain in real applications.
The Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 has four processing cores running at 2.83GHz, a whopping 12MB of shared L2 cache and a 1333MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) to keep things moving along nicely. At $275.99 the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 is roughly 60% more expensive than the Q8200, but is it worth it? Read on to see how the Intel Core 2 Quad 9550 does against the other 24 processors it was benchmarked against.
Today, Mike S, tests the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz Yorkfield processor. These are Intel's first quad-core 45nm processors, and offer a cooler chip with an in performance. Find out if this is worth the upgrade, or if you should just stick with what you've got.
Beim Test von AMDs Phenom II X4 810 diente uns der Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 als Vergleichsprozessor. Der Phenom II X4 810 konnte den direkten Vergleich seinerzeit zwar für sich entscheiden, doch Intels 45-nm-Einstiegsmodell in die 4-Kern-Klasse ist preiswerter und soll ein gutes Übertaktungspotential bieten. Grund genug, dem Baby-Quad auf die Zähne zu fühlen. Bekommt man für 150 Euro möglicherweise die Leistung eines Core 2 Extreme QX9770?
Zum Vergleich treten zudem zehn weitere CPUs von AMD und Intel an, darunter der Dual-Core Prozessor Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 sowie AMDs Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition und Phenom II X4 810. Wann lohnt sich ein niedrig getakteter Quad-Core Prozessor und für welche Aufgaben reichen zwei oder drei Kerne? Und wie wirkt sich der auf 4 MByte reduzierte L2-Cache des Core 2 Quad Q8200 auf seine Leistung aus?
Two processor cores are the reasonable minimum for most desktops today. Most processors we are going to review today fall into the magical price range of "up to $200" and can be used in a $500 PC performing much better than a relatively inexpensive notebook (or a four-year-old top PC). So, this choice is justified, when you have a strictly limited budget or just don't want to spend too much money.
Everyone's wanted to trade up at times. Sure, you can get the 8oz steak for $15, but the 12oz steak is only $17.... Sometimes the choice can be as easy as calculating performance versus price, but other times it's worth to pay more if it will really satisfy your needs. The 3.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 CPU is a dual-core chip based on the 45nm 'Wolfdale' core that falls into the upper end of family, supplanted only by the relatively expensive Core 2 Duo E8600.
The Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, a 3.0GHz dual-core processor based on the 'Wolfdale' core that is being manufactured on the 45nm process. This socket 775 processor packs in 6MB of L2 cache and operates with a 1333MHz Front Side Bus speed. The Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 retails for around $170 USD which makes it considerably more affordable than quad-core processors with equivalent clock speeds and cache.
A returning question on many enthusiast discussion forums is which Intel CPU to choose for your S775 setup, the high end E8600 or the more budget friendly 7 series? We take a closer look at the advantages of the E8600 and its 6Mb L2 cache, versus the more affordable E7400 with only 3Mb L2 cache, which one offers the best bang for the buck? Read on to find out.
With the launch of Clarkdale by Intel, they have finally released a Nehalem for the masses, the Core i3 and i5 variations with integrated graphics are a direct competitor to the market segment currently held by AMD Phenom and Athlon CPUs. In this article we compare the performance of the IGP on the Intel Core i5 661 to and AMD system with 785G chipset.
Since the launch of the new CPUs from Intel, nicknamed Clarkdale, we have seen a fair share of overclocking attempts; some people even breaking world records, pushing the a Clarkdale over 7Ghz. We have read reports from overclockers who had issues with pushing the BCLK higher when the IGP was enabled. In this article we will explore possible solutions to help circumvent this limit, so you can enjoy high BCLK while using the IGP.
