The new top dog dual core processor!Strengths: Amazingly overclockable, 45nm design emits less heat Weakness: none This is one amazing processor. With the 45nm process that greatly reduces heat, the E8400 is an overclocking monster which doesn't break the bank. Every one of these E8400 processors can be overclocked to 4GHz with a minor bump in core voltage provided your motherboard can support bus speeds that high. I've taken my processor as high as 4365 MHz stable @ 1.55V, but am now running it at 4185 MHz @...

Intel Core Duo E8400 Dual ProcessorStrengths: Less Heat generated Weakness: None yet Unbelievable upgrade from my Core2 Duo 2.13 CPU. First, and MOST importantly, the heat generated from the E8400 is significantly less than any other Intel processor I have bought. One thing I immediately noticed is the Intel heatsink/fan is about 50% smaller than ones I purchased previously. I did some research and found that Intel uses the Celeron version of the heatsink and fan with the E8400....

Great Processor for the price!Strengths: 3.0ghz and can be overclocked to 4.0ghz, fast dual-core, cheap for what it does, new technology 45nm, runs pretty cool, great gaming and multi-tasking processor Weakness: Might have temp problems on some boards until bios update, besides that this processor is a winner in my opinion The e8400 was very hard to find when it just came out, and all the retailers/etailers raised their prices by $50+. I eventually got it for the cheapest price i have seen from a retail store. This processor gives you a slight advantage over the e6850 which i have on my other PC, so if you have a e6850, no need to upgrade yet. I had the e8400 on an ip35 pro which worked fine but the cpu temps were...

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400Strengths: Fast, reletively cheap, low heat etc.. Weakness: Not that is a weakness of the processor but not all motherboard design for it will take it without a bios update. May want to have an older 775 processor at hand. This processor is amazing and I was really surprised that Intel decide to go with a mid-end price instead with an high end price though I guess that's what it take to get AMD user to switch :) One thing to be carefull about, not all motherboard that says they are 45u ready will accept this processor unless you update their bios first. To do that you will need to get a older processor first than n...

Outstanding CPUStrengths: Fast, stable and easily overclockable at low Vcore Weakness: NONE I replaced the E6750 with the E8400 3 weeks ago and have been very pleased with the performance of this CPU. Currently I have the E8400 OC'd at 3.5Ghz, but could not achieve anywhere near this with the E6750. Since I use my pc primarily for flight simulation, the E8400 is perfect for running FS9 smoothly.

Get it if you can find it!Strengths: Fast / Stable Weakness: Limited supply is driving up price and availability Good CPU for a game system - plenty of headroom to OC. Plugged into GA-EX38-DS4 and runs like a champ. Intel 45nm rocks. Runs cool with Zalman 9700 and uses less power then the old system. A+

Intel E8400Strengths: Low heat, low power use, overclocking monster Weakness: included heatsink won't allow overclocking This is the best bang for your buck CPU ever. I bought mine from ncixus.com for just over 200 on the first day of release and couldn't be happier with it. First off the included heatsink won't work for overclocking since it is so small and can't remove the heat the cpu will make. It will work fine at stock settings if thats all you plan to do with it. I have mine overclocked to 4ghz without any...

iNTEL E8400Strengths: CHEAP, FAST, 45 nm, GOOD FOR CRYSIS AND DIRECT X 10 Weakness: COULD BE FASTER BUT I DONT OVERCLOCK BUT U CAN ALWAS OVERCLOCK THIS CPU TO BE ALOT FASTER. 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!

Check compatibility!Strengths: Low power; dropping in price; great performance Weakness: Not compatible with many motherboards I had an ASUS P5W-DH motherboard. This came out in summer 2006, and was one of the first motherboards to support Intel's new (at the time) Core2Duo CPUs. The board worked great with my E6600 for 1-1/2 years. I decided to upgrade to the E8400 when they came out, so I updated the BIOS and installed the new CPU. I proceeded to have a slew of compatiblity problems. The temperature readings were out...

Intel Core 2 Duo 45nm Wolfdale vs. 65nm Conroe
It shouldn't take pages of benchmarks to convince you that the new E8500 is a better buy than the E6850. However those wanting to upgrade may still be quite interested to see how much faster these new CPUs are. The non-race is on then! Top

Simply Awesome
Strengths: Dual Core 3.0GHz with 6MB L2 cache. Cheaper than E6850 with more L2 cache. Runs very cool. FSB is 1333MHz.
Weakness: None
I upgraded from a Pentium D 945 and found this CPU to run at least 10C-12C cooler. Idle temp was 32C. Under a heavy load (which wasn't stressing the computer out) it got to about 42C. The C2D architecture is definitely far more superior than the Pentium D series dual cores. I would highly recommend this CPU due to its price point and outstanding low temps and performance.
