An early engineering sample of the Core 2 Duo 'Conroe'. The first batches are called 'A0-silicon' or 'A0-stepping'. This particular CPU is A1-stepping and dates back to the last week of 2005; about a half year before it's official launch in July 27, 2006.
Back in 2005 Intel still had their Pentiu... > Read more
By launching the Core 2 Duo CPU's, Intel shook the processing world awake. AMD had, compared to the Pentium 4 and Pentium D, superior products with the Athlon64 and Athlon64 X2. With the Core 2 Duo Intel didn't have hot-running sluggish CPU's anymore. Instead they sort of reclaimed the 'best-CPU'-th... > Read more
A popular model of Core 2 Duo when launched. Offered decent performance and enthusiasts were able to overclock these CPU's fairly easy.... > Read more
Just like the E4500 but clocked one step slower. Running at 1.8GHz this CPU is probably on par (in terms of performance) with the Pentium D 830 which was aging at the time. Of course the E4300 runs a lot cooler and has more overclock potential than the Penti... > Read more
The E6750 was released in July 2007, one year after the initial release of the first generation Core 2 Duo. Along with the E6750 came the E6540, E6550 and E6850. These CPU's featured a faster FSB and a newer stepping (G0) which has lower idle power consumption.
My engineering sample dates back to... > Read more
Just like the E7200 but one step faster. Not much to say about this CPU except that it was fairly priced and offered good performance.... > Read more
Clocked at 2.2GHz with a fairly slow FSB of 200MHz (QDR800). With this CPU Intel created a budget line of Core 2 Duo's that would fill in the gap with the original Core 2 Duo E6xxx-series and the Pentium Dual-Core.
Due the fairly low FSB it was easier to overclock these CPU's while staying within... > Read more
The Core 2 Duo E8400 found it's way in many systems, and for a good reason! It was released in early 2008 and considered a high-end CPU but in 2009 and 2010 these CPU's were still sold and very useable. In this time-frame not everyone needed a quad-core so having a high-clocked dual-core system woul... > Read more
A weird model number! Basically it's identical to a Core 2 Duo E6400. It runs at the same clock-frequency, same L2-cache size and same FSB.
Looking at Intels' ARK I see that they've categorized the E6405 as server-CPU instead of desktop.... > Read more
This is the slowest Core 2 Duo in the category of 'Wolfdale' 3M L2-cache CPU's. It run's at 2.53GHz and was launched in April 2008. It was not the fastest Core 2 Duo out there but it does it's job just fine and for Office and webbrowsing it was, like many other Core 2 Duo's, a fine CPU for the years... > Read more
The second fastest normal version of the Core 2 Duo. It runs fast and cool and even years after it's release it is suitable for daily office usage. Pair it up with enough RAM and a SSD and this hardware could run for years.
An interesting note about this particular CPU is that the distance (line ... > Read more
