Intel Xeon The Best Server Processor!

Advantages: Fast, Cheap, Stable
Disadvantages: Nothing

1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from store. Pros: Excellent performance per watt. I'll be using these processors in a machine that will be doing a lot of video compression and 3D modeling, which are some of the applications that Intel processors are better suited for than A M D's (comparing the Clover town X e o n to the Barcelona O p t e r o n). I like A M D's C P U s too, but I n t e l s are the better tool for these jobs. Cons: None so far, but there is a caveat that purchasers should be aware of. The LGA771 socket requires a special case that accommodates the heat sink for the processors. The LGA771 specs require that the heat sink be attached directly to the case instead of the motherboard. And so the case needs a special set of standoffs or a mounting plate for the heat sink to screw onto. Intel says the case ...

Review of Intel Quad-Core Xeon E5410 / 2.33 GHz processor

competitive with quad core processors

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: none

Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 / 3.16 GHz *** This is my favorite processor and I love to have this in my one of the PC at home due to its great performance and speed. Some processors are really very affordable and trustable with long run capacity and features to provide similar kind of performance as new one. This processor also a kind of processor which can give us reliable performance with its advanced features and speed. *** Core2 duo family from Intel is very popular and most of the desktop PCs and notebooks have this one as first priority. We haven't seen quad core processor in any notebook and core 2 duo processors are most popular with almost all notebooks. But there are slightly differences in notebook processors and desktop processors. We have some low power consuming series processors for notebooks and slightly higher one for desktop ...

Review of Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 / 3.16 GHz processor

This is a Quad-Core?

Advantages: Cheap upgrade with great cache memory
Disadvantages: not the fastest or best, most Core 2's are much better

This is an okay machine that fails to ignite or excite you with its performance. I am still amazed that a quad-core can be only 1.86 GHz in memory. I mean so many good Core 2 Duos pack over 2 Gigs its a wonder you get this minnow. The E5320 has good bus speed of 1066 MHz and large cache memory of 8mb, performing well when doing work-related activities. However if you are after an entertainment machine to watch movies, play games or download stuff this is not the machine for you. But then this is an upgrade and is meant to replace older, slower machines with a new infrastructure. It doesn't work for me, since its a low-end 64-bit operator, but if you need a cheap upgrade to new technology then this will be a good choice for you. ...
