Intel dual core 2 E8400 review and musings
Thursday, May 1st, 2008This processor was released earlier this year as part of Intel’s refresh of the product range.
The main features are;
Two processors (cores) in one at 3Ghz
Based upon 45nm technology.
(Layman: faster with less power)
6 mb shared cache
(Layman - it can handle multiple tasks and divide it’s resources depending upon the individual processor load.
A £145.99 prices tag from www.novatech.co.uk!
These features translate into real life features. A more powerful cpu, everything is speeder. A quieter system as the new (smaller) fan is very quiet. Less heat, so the entire system runs cooler. A cooler system means a system that will last longer on the whole. Lower power bills and better for the environment as this is a brilliant performance per watt processor
In short, a great processor and at this low price it is worth upgrading now 
(Check your motherboard is compatible first though)
