Core 2 Duo E8500Strengths: 45nm, 9.5x multiplier, 6mB L2 cache, one of best overclockers, low power consumption Weakness: Wish it was an E0 This e8500 and the e8400 are a blast to overclock. There is a lot of room to push this over 4GHZ with the right motherboard. The 9.5 multiplier helps. The overclocking potential and 6mB cache makes it one of the best chips out there. It keeps pace with the quads and it not near as hard to overclock. 75% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Core 2 Duo at 4 ghzStrengths: Extra clockability Weakness: none Other than the Quad Core Extreme, this is pretty much THE CPU to put into your system as far as highest speed goes. Rated at 3.16, this CPU overclocks to 4.0 with ease. I have an E8400 that won’t pass 3.6 GHz on Water and the systems specs are the same. No need to go into technical data on this or binning here, but if one were to make a decision based on cost, then the E8400 is the best bang for the buck. Me being the performance fiend, I chose so spend an additional $50 for E8500’s performance increase. I was able to increase my multiplier and FSB over the E8400 such that my 3DMark 2006 scores went from roughly 16000 to 18000. 67% of readers found this review helpful.

Best Intel Processor for Overclocking
Despite having a higher price tag than the E8400, the E8500's main overclocking advantage is that it boasts a higher fine-tuned multiplier of 9.5x, allowing for greater frequency-per-FSB change. ... Top

Wolfdale 3.16GHz
Strengths: Fast, runs cool
Weakness: None
Upgraded from an E6400, 2.13GHz 65nm, 1066 FSB, 2MB shared L2 cache cpu that worked well with most games and apps. But then I installed this 3.16GHz, 45nm cpu with an after market cooler and wow what a difference in game play and app loading times without upgrading the graphics card. It runs cooler and faster. The cpu fan runs slower and quieter.
