X-bit labs - Meet Intel Wolfdale: Core 2 Duo E8500, E8400 and E8200 Processors Review

Quote:


	All dual-core processors from AMD are slower than the new Core 2 Duo E8000 series, which automatically ousts them from the $150+ price segment, where IntelÃ‚â€™s dual-core solutions will now become the only player.

Another Nail in the AMD coffin.

I'm still buying on the other side for competition.

HigHTecHReDNecK · 13-January-08, 02:18 AM

I might fork over some dough for one of these sweet lil cpu's , but right now im aimin' for a AMD Qcore , just for the "I own one" factor

vf1000ride · 13-January-08, 04:57 AM

I'm saving up for one of the core 2 quads. I haven't owned an Intel since the P3 1ghz days. It's gonna be a change going back.

Has there been any sort of "concrete" pricing information on the Wolfdales yet?

Money is not going to be that much of an object when I get home, but I would still like to be able to save as much moolah as possible, while still being able to build a relatively future-proof system (to last me at least 2-3 years)...

dont remember where i read this but here in canada there gona sell just a bit over $200.cdn ($220-$240) for the E8400 , now imagine on how the "old" C2D (65nm) will be salling for...can't wait for this

When will they be coming out?

BigAkita · 13-January-08, 06:56 PM

I'll be on it. I have no loyalty except to the best buy for my buck.

Yorkfield sounds tasty, but if the E-series are any cop and I actually have some money by then I might downgrade to dual core and run 4ghz+. Which will probably be faster than my quad @ 3.5.

unless there is an application that take advantage of 4 cores or more...

I just hope that:

1) They don't have that bug where they won't work with nForce 6xx boards
2) They overclock well
3) Intel doesn't have something waiting that will make these things obsolete a few months out

I was just thinking that as I was reading this. In April, SUPRISE!!! 35 nm!!! lol.

1) The dual cores should work in the 680 boards AFAIK.

2) I've heard of one of these running 4ghz+ on air.

3) Nehalem will be the next big thing at the end of this year, and that will require a whole new motherboard and likely DDR3 as well.

I'm looking forward to these Dual Cores too, it would be nice if Intel had made one with a 10x multiplier though. I've also been hearing that the non extreme edition 45nm Quads O/C pretty poorly. If E8400's are Ã‚Â£100 and I can get 4.5GHz out of it then I'll get one.

67_GTO · 24-January-08, 04:31 PM

Whats the point of having the E8400 and E8500? 160 MHz difference for $84...yayyy..

Am I missing something?

The 8500 has a higher multiplier, so it's supposedly better for OC. And also they need a top end product that they can slap a premium price on.
