The comparison is between the cheapest Core 2 Duo processor and the D805. If both are overclocked to a stable level on air, which is the best value? Also factor in MB costs; the Mb i'm looking at for D805 is $110 CAN. I doubt the Core 2 duo MB will be that cheap.
I'm not looking at what outperforms what but what is the best deal. I'm willing to sacrifice 10% performance if price is 35% cheaper.
Basically, I'm looking to compare the D805 at 3.6Ghz with low-end Core 2 duo Oc'ed to whatever it can stablely be overclocked to.
As well another question could be, with the CPU prices coming down, which Intel CPU is the best value period, taking in mind its OC'ing ability and MB cost?
Whats the verdict?
