Le site américain Techgage nous propose de lire son test sur le processeur Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 cadencé à 3.0 GHz. Comme son nom l'indique, il est composé de deux cœurs mais il embarque également 6Mo de mémoire cache et un FSB de 1333 MHz. Il consomme environ 65 Watts et est gravé en 45nm. Le Core 2 Duo E8400 est vendu dans la plupart des boutiques en ligne à un prix avoisinant les 190€ TTC.


"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 3.0 GHz E8400, offering 6MB cache, SSE4 and more. Overclocking is impressive, with 3.8 GHz stable being possible without even raising the voltage! This chip
definitely proves itself a winner. 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 didn't want to hit lightly, especially since AMD were actively taking from their customer base - on the enthusiast side, most notably. When said and done, Intel did accomplish what they planned to do."
