Intel Core 2 Duo E8400

摘要

When a new $999 quad-core processor hits the market and sets benchmark records, it's front-page news, but it's just as exciting when you get first-rate performance for a fifth of that price. With a clock speed of 3GHz, 6MB of L2 cache, SSE 4.1 instructions, and impressive overclockability, Intel's Core 2 Duo E8400 leaves last year's top-of-the-line processors in the dust-and yet this "midrange" chip costs under $200.
