All-Inclusive Dual Core CPU Review Roundup

[ikjadoon]

I have been reading quite a few Core 2 Duo reviews, but not ones that included the X2's and the Pentium D's. I came across this great round up and some very nice performance-per-watt, performance-per-gigahertz, and performance-price ratio graphs which should help some buyers on what processor they should get.

This next picture shows the average performance, and I arrange it somewhat like this:

FX-62 <= E6600
X2 5000+ = E6400
4600+ >= E6300
4200+ <= E6300

These are pretty close match-ups, I think, in overall performance.

Just a head's up on a great review!

Sounds about right, falls right in line with every other comparison I've seen.

Nice find ikjadoon.

Thanks!

It is very thorough, comparing pretty much any viable dual-core CPU option available to the regular user, and I'm glad it shows the Core 2 Duo vs. X2 vs. Pentium D Average Performance graph, which should clear up some issues.
