Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 / 3 GHz processor

As a gamer, I needed the best processor out there. Searching around, the only real debate in this price range was whether to go for the E6850, a dual core CPU, or the Q6600, a quad core at a lower clock. After looking at many different benchmarks and reviews, the answer was clear - the higher ... Read review

Powerful and efficient

Advantages: Fast, good overclocking potential; the best for games (and virtually all other applications)
Disadvantages: Runs fairly warm, but nothing terrible

As a gamer, I needed the best processor out there. Searching around, the only real debate in this price range was whether to go for the E6850, a dual core CPU, or the Q6600, a quad core at a lower clock. After looking at many different benchmarks and reviews, the answer was clear - the higher clocked part (the E6850) was a more power processor, giving better performance in games, and better performance in most ofther software applications as well. ...
...6 months ago when I bought this product; current applications do not need 4 cores to run quickly, especially games. If I was particularly interested in video editing, then I may have gone for a quad-core, but for my purposes it wasn't nescessary. Not only that, but I have used video editing software on this, and it will render incredibly quickly - I was blown away.
So, the upshot is - what do you need to use your computer for? A few specialised ... more

An extremely fast processor

Advantages: Very Fast, Stock fan is not too loud
Disadvantages: Further overclocking would require a better fan

This is the fastest standard Intel Core 2 Duo you can buy, the E6850 has a 333Mhz FSB which is 1,333Mhz Effective so it has more memory bandwidth than its descendants. The E6850 has a VID of 1.35V most of the time (some of them have a VID of 1.3v although it's uncommon) and runs slightly hotter than a E6750 with a VID of 1.3, during my tests I also noticed it is harder to overclock than an E6750 but only by a small amount, me getting the clock speeds ...
...get the E6750 up to just under 3.65Ghz, this was just with the boxed fans that came with the processors, although if you bought custom coolers, you would get much better. Conclusion: While I could not get it to overclock as high as an E6750 in my tests, you could easily reach over 4Ghz if you bought good enough cooling for it, however if overclocking is not for you, this processor is still an ace to pick up and will run any of tomorrows software ...

Quick review of Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 / 3 GHz processor

Worth about £100, intel are much better prosessors than AMD, i recomend this as a good prosessor for current games and or programmes that require a large amount of prosessing power. As the prosessing power is spread over two prosessors, they can share the data - so they can run faster. ...

More than the Desktop PC

Advantages: Every feature is special
Disadvantages: nothing

preinstalled processor or its upgrade. This PC has good solution of this reason with Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 processor and some models also have Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 processor with excellent clock speed of 3 GHz. So what is a role of 3 GHz in this processor? Lets have a look on some applications. If we use advanced applications with their latest versions like Photoshop CS3, 3ds max 2009, CorelDraw X4, than we need almost more than 3 GHz processor for smooth running. The 2 or more GHz processor is also good but we need excellent dedicated graphics memory for better performance. The main problem occur when we have slow processor and running it with Windows Vista operating system. Vista needs some processing speed and graphics memory as well as RAM. So if we need fast performance with Windows Vista and latest version of applications, than 3 GHz ...
