Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8400 3GHz

I'am sure that everyone knows Intel. Intel is one of the manufacturer of the computer processor market in the world, with strong competitors, AMD. Both of the computer processor manufacturer was lead the computer processor market. One of Intel product is Intel® Core™2 Duo E8400. This processor in relased in November 2007, but there are ready in computer maket at January 2008. I own this processor, i used it on my flat computer. I brought this processor in August 2008.

Main specification
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8400 is one of the Core™ Intel processor generation. This processor isWolfdale intel codename processor series. This processor have two (dual) core of processor that every core have 3 GHz clock speed, it's fast enough and moreover it's can be improved until 4 Ghz with overclocking method. This processor have 1333 MHz of FSB (Front Side Bus), it's high enough bacause the high FSB (Front Side Bus) is 1600Mhz. It's also features 6MB of L2 Cache. This specification make Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8400 suitable for play the latest game that require high resources.

45nm technology
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8400 is manufactured with 45nm technology that make this processor more efficient than Core™ that used 65nm technology or previous generation of dual core intel processor, it has a Thermal Design Power of 65W.

Intel® 64 Architecture
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8400 features Intel® EM64T, Intel® 64 architecture. Intel® 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing when combined with supporting software. Intel 64 architecture improves performance by allowing systems to address more than 4 GB of both virtual and physical memory.

Intel® 64 architecture provides support for:

• 64-bit flat virtual address space
• 64-bit pointers
• 64-bit wide general purpose registers
• 64-bit integer support
• Up to one terabyte (TB) of platform address space

Overclocking Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8400
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8400 have 3 GHz of standard clock speed, but it's not fixed clock speed. I even try to overclock this processor use Biostar TPower i45 motherboard. I ever improved this CPU clock speed until 4 Ghz with simple overclocking (use under windows software) and standard cooler. I found one great result from overclocking this processor with Biostar TPower I45, it's until 6.1Ghz Core Clock. This is the result of them :

Conclusion

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8400 is a powerfull processor, it's fast on normal condition moreover if it's overclocked. If you need a processor for high resource process such as gaming or editing video, i suggest you to own this Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8400.
