Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 HH80557PH0362M (BX80557E6300)


E6300 is the slowest member from Core 2 Duo E6xxx series. Despite of that, the processor performs quite well when compared with Intel Pentium 4 and AMD Athlon 64/Athlon 64 FX processors. At this time (October 2006) the E6300 has the best price/performance ratio from all Core 2 Duo processors.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 HH80557PH0462M (BX80557E6400)


Slightly faster that the E6300, the E6400 microprocessor usually beats in benchmarks most of Intel Pentium 4s, including Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processors. Depending on the application, the E6400 may be as fast as Athlon 64 FX-62, but not slower than Athlon 64 FX-60.

Not only the E6600 is running at higher frequency than E6300 and E6400 processors, it also has twice as large L2 cache. This processor is clocked at 2.4 GHz, which is the same as for Athlon 64 X2 4600+ CPU and lower than for Athlon 64 FX60 and FX62 CPUs. Performance-wise the E6600 is faster at this time (October 2006) than any other Athlon 64 X2 and Athlon 64 FX microprocessor.

The first Pentium Dual Core CPU (E2160, E2140, etc) are based on the Allendale architecture that is found in the E4xxx series Core2 family. The latest P DC family (E5xxx) are based on the Wolfdale core, which is from the E7xxx and E8xxx Core2 families.

The last Pentium D line was based on the Presler core, a completely different architecture from what the Core2 CPUs are based on.

Recommend changing (related processors around a bit) I think the Intel Pentium Dual Cores

I think the Intel Pentium Dual Cores NOT the old Pentium belongs at the top of the related to the Core 2 duo processors. You seem to have all the other close relations, the mobile the Core 2 Quad etc, but not the Pentium Dual core which is much closer than the old Pentium D line to the C2D.

Response: Pentium Dual-Core and Celeron Dual Cores will be soon added to "related" families.

The E8600 is the best CPU what I ever bought. Fast as the lightning.:D I love it.

ok thanks, im talking of one chart with overall performance, some has larger; shorter cache L2 or frecuency, even power and cooling advantages-disadvantages... sorry bad english ...

kind of confused...

why 6300 is slower than 6200 or 6400; so,

cant understand if the higher or slower the number, better/worse performance... can u make some kind of chart in faster performance order???

Response: Sorry, the "Find faster/slower CPUs" currently looks only for frequency. Model numbers are pretty good indication of performance
