Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor BX80570E8400

  • 1333MHz FSB
  • 45 nm Wolfdale 65W
  • 6MB L2 Cache
ICON Loading...

With the Wolfdale core Intel pours more power into a Core 2 Duo package. The 45nm process allowed Intel to reduce the power needed to 65W. Lower power means lower CPU heat, which translates to lower system heat and longer system life. They also packed more features into the chip.

L2 cache has been bumped to 6MB and the Front Side Bus has been pushed to 1333MHz. You can now use both DDR2 and the hot new DDR3 memory for extreme performance. They also boosted memory access and execution speed with the Wide Dynamic Execution and Smart Memory Access. These combine to let the processor compute more instructions with more data per clock cycle. You'd better watch out; your enemies will be shooting back faster now.

The Advanced Digital Media Boost feature has been enhanced with the addition of the SSE4 instruction set and Intel HD Boost. This will give your entertainment experience a boost with better audio and video processing. It will also help with speech recognition, engineering and scientific applications. Perhaps most important of all will be the boost to security with increased encryption power and speed.

  • newegg Specialized Dual-core Microarchitecture The Intel Core 2 Duo processor includes dual execution cores in a single processor to enable execution of parallel threads or applications on separate cores, resulting in revolutionary dual-core performance, breakthrough processor energy efficiency and exceptional system response when running multi-threaded or multiple demanding applications simultaneously. The innovative 45nm dual-core technology optimizes thermal performance for reduced power consumption and noise.
  • newegg Intel Advanced Smart Cache Intel Advanced Smart Cache Technology dynamically allocates the shared L2 cache to each processor core based on workload. This efficient, multi-core-optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from fast L2 cache, resulting in significantly reduced latency for frequently used data and improved performance.
  • newegg Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T) Intel EM64T provides an enhancement to Intel 32-bit architecture by enabling the desktop processor platform to access larger amounts of memory. With appropriate 64-bit supporting hardware and software, platforms based on an Intel processor supporting Intel EM64T can enable use of extended virtual and physical memory.
  • newegg Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) EIST allows the system to dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency to decrease average power consumption and average heat production. Combined with existing power saving features, EIST may provide an excellent balance between providing power when you need it and conserving power when you don’t.
  • newegg Execute Disable Bit (EDB) Intel's Execute Disable Bit function can prevent certain classes of malicious "buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.
  • newegg Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) With Intel VT, one hardware platform functions as multiple "virtual" platforms. For business, Intel VT offers improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. In the home, Intel VT allows creating unique user environments for multiple family members using the same platform simultaneously.

5 out of 5 eggsStill a beast

Pros: I've owned this chip since shortly after it was released, and the hours spent waiting for it to come back in stock so I could order it were worth it. Over 4 years later and this chip just demolishes everything I throw at it. I've never bothered to overclock it, since the stock 3.0 has yet to actually hit any walls. My E8400 currently stands as the best tech purchase of my life, and I'm starting to wonder if the day will ever come that I need to replace it for any reason other than the rest of my PC falling apart around it. This is the Toyota engine of CPU's.

Cons: You can't buy it anymore. That makes me sad.

Other Thoughts: This chip took one look at Skyrim, looked back at me, and said, "I thought you said we were going to be working hard today."

5 out of 5 eggsPlucky little CPU

Pros: This thing is rock solid stable and runs nice and cool under load. I've never even bothered to overclock it, though I could easily do so. It let's me run the latest games and programs with no noticeable performance hits, despite its venerable age.

Cons: I seriously cannot think of any.

Other Thoughts: I've recommended this to my friends for years, but it's discontinued now :(

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent

Pros: This thing has eaten everything I've been able to throw at it. Has been overclocked to 4.2 for the past 3 years on air, with just an aftermarket cooler.

Cons: None

5 out of 5 eggsLegend

Pros: Has ate everything I have ever thrown at it since I first snapped it in my system back in DEC 2008. I'm talking games like Crysis 2, Far Cry 2, Battlefield2/3, Witcher 2, and Skyrim. Killed them.

Cons: Its not immortal.... Close though.

Other Thoughts: Legendary status initiated. All systems go man!! This chip could run G od's rig.

5 out of 5 eggsIt's still good

Pros: This processor can beat anything Aye Em Dee has to offer in terms of single core performance. What get's me is the Core i3 SB processor is only 15% faster than an e8400. A gentle overclock to 3.5ghz will erase the performance gap. Also, you have to consider the Core i3 has H/T so the true core vs. core performance gap isn't quite that big.

What I'm saying is this processor is still good unless you think you need a quadie or better. If you're still rocking with this processor then I would keep it until next year. IB is not a step up from SB so ya might as well wait for Haswell.

Cons: I could say Intel should have lowered the price.

Other Thoughts: If you're still playing WOW and Diablo III then you won't see a performance increase by switching to a more current quad-core. If you want more FPS then get another video card. At the same time I woudn't go above a GTX 560ti or a 7850 with this processor.

5 out of 5 eggs5 Years @ 4.2

Pros: Well... What can I say. I've been running the thing on air (with an upgraded cooler) for 5 years now, at 4.2GHz.

Thing scores a 7.0 in windows 7 LOL. Beats most of the core 2 quads and some i5's.

Cons: Zilch.

Other Thoughts: Win.
