Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale CPU @ HotHardware

We’re writing to let you all know that we have just posted a new article at HotHardware in which we evaluate the features and performance of Intel’s recently released, Wolfdale-based Core 2 Duo E8500 processor.  The E8500 uses Intel’s 45nm Penryn derived Wolfdale core, with a 3.16GHz clock speed, 6MB of L2 cache, and support for SSEE4.1.  Overall, even in its stock configuration this processor was a strong performer, while consuming less power than Intel’s 65nm processors.  But while overclocked to over 4GHz on air-cooling alone, it put up some truly impressive benchmark scores.  Head on over to the site and take a look.

Some good stuff here,
