Weekend Tech Reading-Core 2 Duo E6300&E6400 - tech

(hx) 03:11 PM CEST - Jul,29 2006

Rise of Legends is clearly a game that demands a lot from the processor, and the additional cache in the 4MB Core 2 Duo chips also appears to have more of an impact in this game than in other games. The only Core 2 chip that AMD's FX-62 is able to beat is the "budget" E6300. If other RTS games perform similarly, strategy gamers will definitely want to upgrade to Core 2. Once again we see that overclocking the E6300 and E6400 get you fairly close to the higher end E6700 and X6800 Core 2 processors

Intel intros Core 2 Duo, slashes Pentium prices - As expected, Intel added the E6300, E6400, E6600 and E6700 to its price list, at $183, $224, $316 and $530, respectively - what it was only yesterday charging for its top four Pentium D chips. Intel also introduced the Core 2 Extreme X6800 at $999. The Pentium Extreme Edition 955 and 965 remain priced at $999 too. Gateway has announced new desktops based around the new Core 2 processor: the FX510XG and the FX510XT. On the Dell front, there are three new Core 2 offerings: two desktops and one workstation.
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 & E6400: Tremendous Value Through Overclocking - The Core 2 Duo E6300 is a better performer than the X2 3800+ but is also more expensive, thankfully for the E6300's sake it is also faster than the 4200+ and the 4600+ in some benchmarks. Overall the E6300 is a better buy, but at stock speeds the advantage isn't nearly as great as the faster Core 2 parts
