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. mfgr link category date published author...
The Intel Core 2 Duo E8500, with its 3.16GHz clock speed, 1333MHz FSB speed and 6MB of L2 cache, remains a force to be reckoned with. In real-world office applications the E8500 was generally a little faster than the Phenom II X4 955 and a little slow...

Thats the bitter truth as it is. The top processor from AMD (it does not even matter which of the two, because they have the same total score) is outscored by the top processor from Intel by 45%. There is actually nothing to comment on. We could have...

Its a measure of how far CPU technology has come when you can buy a CPU with four cores on a single die for about $235. That would be the AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition. Its also true that for under $300, you can buy an Intel quad-core CPU manufa...
High clock speed. 6MB L2 cache. Fast in games.
Pricey compared to the Q9300.
Intels Wolfdale CPU is highly overclockable, but the performance advantage over the Q9300 is surprisingly small...
