E6300

how is this proc. for performance??even though it is a 1.86ghz ...seems kind of slow to be the worlds best processors

Re: E6300

It's not slow, as dual cores are often seemed as clocked low, are really double or more in ghz, or at least rated as so. My 3800+ is rated as 5.8ghz, or sommit close to that.

^Ignore GeoffRowley's post.

The E6300 is the equivalent to a 3.2Ghz P4.

Re: E6300

I they can be overclocked very easily which is a good thing about this processor.

Re: E6300

lets put it this way will i get better performance than the proc. i have now???(I DONT LIKE TO OVERCLOCK!!!!!):p

sooo, that means if i got a 3.2 ghz p4, it would be exactly the same as an e6300? Because i thought the dual cores were alottt faster than single cores...

Re: E6300

I meant for BF2 because it will only take advantage of 1 core, not both. And im about 90% sure that it is equivalent to a 3.2Ghz P4. It is definately not less.

Minicoop, the E6300 will be much better than a P4 in terms of overall performance. It will also be future proof for games that do take advantage of dual cores.

Re: E6300

i was gonna get one but i held on and bought a E6600 bigger cache and higher clock. But its good processor and over clokes well. Id buy if i were you!

Re: E6300

If the e6300 is beating the 3.73ghz P4, I'd say that it's quite a bit better than a 3.2 ghz P4

Feel free to look at the other benches too... the e6300 does very well

And I would definitely consider overclocking. It's really easy with the Core 2 Duo's, and they overclock very high. You might not even have to raise the voltage if the overclock isn't too extravagant.

thanks knight, thats awesome thanks for posting that up!:) looks like ill be noticing a big difference in half life2 and in bf2, as for i am getting a ES400 for Christmas.....and AMD calls themselves gaming processors blah!!! lol just not sure what to do with that windows XP thing.
