The Core 2 Duo E8400 is certainly fast, even compared with the Core 2 Quad Q6600. Only in heavily multithreaded apps do the Q6600s four cores provide a speed advantage. In other tests the E8400 dominates. However, there are two things to consider befo...

This review is also available in German)Last year we had the opportunity to review the first 45nm CPU. While a quad-core is not to everyones taste, were now taking a look at the first 45nm dual-core CPU, which is now available for purchase in limite...
If you have been waiting for the new 45nm CPUs, then you made the right choice. This CPU is the best dual-core you can get for your money right now. While the E8500 is considerably more expensive, it doesnt offer any advantage besides a speed increase...

In the summer of 2006, Intel released their 65nm Conroe-based processors, and to say they won the hearts of many would be an understatement. It was one product-launch that Intel didnt want to hit lightly, especially since AMD were actively taking fro...
In the intro, I mentioned that Intels Core 2 Duo launch in mid-2006 succeeded in getting people excited about processors again, and its safe to say that the 45nm launch will accomplish something similar. One thing that has changed since that launch...

Today we are brining you a preview of the new Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 processor, which to our surprise is available at a bargain basement price. The E8400 will be compared to the E6850 and the QX9650, both of which operate their cores at 3.0GHz...Upon v...
The new E8400 is a very impressive processor and the fact that it can be purchased for the same price as an E6750 is remarkable. Although the E8400 is clocked at 3.0GHz like the E6850, it will actually be replacing the E6750 at $183 US. The E6850 will...
