Review of Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 / 3 GHz processor

Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz - 17" TFT

Advantages: nice screen, good battery life, fast specs
Disadvantages: large size (price?)

...Apple mac-books, where to start... ok, so to start, it is an apple, that means you get a solid quality product and on the whole very good customer are. this particualar apple is deffinatly more suited to being a media center than other laptops. At first glance you realise that it is a fairly large laptop, this allows for a big screen, which being an apple ffers clear vivid displays, unfortunatly the big screen increases the overal size and also uses more battery, however, the 4.5 hour yattery is still very good for an entertainment laptop. The laptops technical specs include a very fast 2.5 ghz dual core proccesor which is very fast, the dual core allows it to tackle multiple tasks quicly as well as increasing the overall speed of the laptop. The price is quite steep however, but i believe, if given the money, it is...

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750/ 2.66ghz

Advantages: Fast clock speed / Good amount of lvl2 cache
Disadvantages: Could balance out workload onto both cores a bit more

...This processor is a fairly mid-high spec for core 2 duo range it delivers some great performance for a good price. This cpu can handle a lot of multi-tasking along with playing powerful games. Usually i can run a defragmentation and notice it hardly at all i can play games and play music with no problem it just makes desktop computing so easy. As you may know this is an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 / 2.66ghz cpu, It has 2 cores on the one chip. it runs with 64-bit architecture which then opens up a whole new world of 64-bit operating systems for tommorows technolodgy...this along with the fact it has 4mb lvl2 cache makes superfast repsonse rates to programs and files i have also noticed that their are not so many "cache misses" to which i expected so this pleases me the most :D The only downside is that i have noticed that core...

best dual core processor in mobile computing

Advantages: fast speed
Disadvantages: a little much on cost

...i bought my notebook last year with this mobile computing high end dual core processor with enhanced battery power .this is the best dual core mobile processor with very fast processing speed and also very less power consumption. it has 4mb of l2 cache which is quite bigger and very rich in utility the heat production is not much high as compared to other mobile processors built on 65 nano meter platform. it can work in the speed step technology giving you the option to work it in the undervolt condition by the operating system or even by some softwares like right mark cpu utility by which you can even overclock the processor for high performance it works very great and flexibely under the undervolt and overclock options to give you all kind of performances and in my fujitsu esprimo this processor just makes it very easy...

Review of Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 / 2.2 GHz processor ( mobile )

Core 2 Duo E8500

Advantages: Very Fast, good overclocker
Disadvantages: Possible Temperature problem, E8400 is worth a look at

...The Core 2 Duo E8500 is an extremely fast processor for the LGA 775 socket. At a stock speed of 3.16 Ghz, it is already fast enough to accomedate most user's need, but if people want to push it further, then thats not a problem for this. I bought the processor at the beginning of last year, and what a great purchase it was. After updating my Bios on the motherboard to support the 45nm processor, it was set and ready to go. After a while though I decided to try and overclock it, and was amazed at how well it did it. I managed to get it 4Ghz + stable with just a simple after market cooler. Overclocking is no problem for this, aslong as you have to motherboard and cooling to match. When I bought this there was a big debate between the E8400 and E8500, and all it comes down to is .5 of a multiplyer. E8400 is...

Apple MacBook Core 2 Duo 13.3" - I'm a convert

Advantages: Stylish, flexible, super fast startup
Disadvantages: Pricey compared to a PC

...I got my MacBook a month ago and, despite having been a heavy PC user for the last 20+ years, I'm a convert. It's just great. I got it because of all the good stories I'd heard about them; usability, security, availabiity of applications and it's stylish looking too, not like the lumpy almost invariably black Windows laptops out there. It's not cheap at £700 you can get a lot of PC for that, but I really like my Mac, so I'm not going to linger on that side of things. The 13" screen is crystal clear, the keyboard feels nice and it doesn't take long to get used to the trackpad style mouse. It's super fast to boot up and shut down, less than 30 seconds from 'off' and probably less than 5 from 'sleep' mode. That's stunning compared to my other machines that can take anything from 5 to 20 minutes to do the same. It was initially a bit...

Review of Apple MacBook Core 2 Duo

The new Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 just rocks

Advantages: Good performance, Great value, Low power consumption, Stability
Disadvantages: None

...A good friend of mine bought this processor and immediately tested it to see the advantages of 4 MB of cache. This new Intel core 2 processor E6420 replaces the old Core Duo E6400, and has a series of notable advantages over the latter one. I tested both products and one thing is sure, by adding two extra MB on the processor die, the performance increased quite a little. I've tested both processors in several aplications and the speed difference varies from almost none (rendering), to notable in encoding, compressing, multimedia (3-6 % speed increase) and to maximum 7-9% speed increase in games and this at the same price like E6400 processor. The speed is just great for it's price and if you thing it isn't fast enough this processor is highly overclockable. my tested version worked until 3.15 Ghz with the stock cooler included...

Review of Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 / 2.13 GHz processor

Intel's Core 2 Duo E6300

Advantages: Fast, Dual-Core, Overclockable, Great for Gaming
Disadvantages: Price?

...This is an excellent processor from Intel. It is using the new Core 2 Duo technology. This is a dual-core, meaning that it can preform multiple functions, such as browsing the web and listening to music while burning a cd, very well. This is one of the less expensive processors from the new line. However, I have found it to be the the processor that has the best value. It is an excellent buy and is strongly recommended for all new computers that can afford to spend this much on a processor. For those interested in overclocking, it offers unbeatable potential. A huge overclock, meaning about 3.2 ghz, is not uncommon or particularly hard to reach with quality components. Please note that this voids your guarantee however. This is also perfect for gaming. With this, one core can handle background applications, such as winamp...

Review of Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 / 1.86 GHz processor

Ideal mobile processor

Advantages: Fast, runs quietly, doesnt overheat.
Disadvantages: None so far.

...-tech person myself, I have did some background research into core 2 duo processors before i purchased one as I wondered how long the technology would last. It has appeared to me that this type of processor will be one of the leading ones on the market for several years which in tech terms is a long life, and its quite cheap for a relatively new, high end technology. To give you a sort of comparison with older single CPU processors, my old desktop pentium 4 had a processor that was rated at 3.2 giga-hertz, which is the speed it runs at, this may appear as a 2 giga-hertz model, but when I used www.systemrequirementlabs.com i found out that this core 2 duo processor is rated at 4.94 giga-hertz, which is a vast increase on my old desktop, this is a simplified way of looking at it, but for myself (ie a tech-noob) i think it spoke volumes about...
