Intel E8400 easily hits 4.4GHz
The first 45nm Dual Core overclocks great (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 everyone's taste, we're now taking a look at the first 45nm dual-core ...
less, but we can't guarantee it can reach 4.40GHz

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz - Wolfdale Arrives
Intel's 45nm Dual-Cores have finally arrived, so it's only fitting that we take one for a spin. Our test subject is the 3.0GHz E8400, offering 6MB cache, SSE4 and more. Overclocking is impressive, with 3.8GHz stable being possible without even raising ...

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
At 3 GHz, the Core 2 Duo E8400 is right in the middle of Intel's E8xxx range. On paper, it's 10% slower than the the E8600, the 3.33 GHz processor at the top of this line, but our tests showed that it was only around 8% less powerful
- Speedy results on almost every test, - Sometimes as fast as entry-level quad-core processors, - Reasonable energy efficiency
- For demanding applications, quad-core processors will do better
The E8000 series is an excellent bunch of dual-core processors with reasonable power consumption. For more demanding tasks, though, a quad-core CPU will do better.

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Dual Core Processor
Great processor for the money. If you're building a PC for gaming or more serious processor intensive tasks, this processor has the best price/performance ratio out there for now. Later, when more apps have been written to take advantage of 4 or more core...
better performance than 8500 for less money
overclock can be trickier than some processors
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Dual Core Processor
GOES REALLY GOOD WITH A MSI P7N PLATINUM MOBO, AND A 9600GT PLAYS ALL THE DX10 GAMES GREAT AT 1440x900 ALL SETTINGS SET TO HIGH. SO THIS IS A GREAT BANG FOR YOUR BUCK CPU!
CHEAP, FAST, 45 nm, GOOD FOR CRYSIS AND DIRECT X 10
COULD BE FASTER BUT I DONT OVERCLOCK BUT U CAN ALWAS OVERCLOCK THIS CPU TO BE ALOT FASTER.
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Dual Core Processor
I used to be strictly an AMD buyer, but since AMD hasn't been very competitive with Intel for speed, I chose this processor, and I am very pleased with it. I would highly recommend this processor to anyone that wants to upgrade.
Very fast. Running at 3.16 GHz no problems.
none
