Customer Review: Great Processor For The Money
Summary: 5 Stars
I've upgraded one of my home built computer from a Prescott Pentium 4 at 3.4 GHz to this 45 nm Pentium dual core 2.6 GHz, Wolfdale E5300. To do this upgrade, also entails replacing the motherboard to the ASrock 775i65G rev 2.0. I've went this route with this motherboard, because I want the reuse the 2 GB PC 3200 DDR RAM as well as the AGP Gforce 7600GT graphics card. Except for the problem with the motherboard, the speed improvement was close to three times if not more than that of the Pentium 4 after some mild overclocking to 3 GHz.
The way I had this computer setup,the performance is approaching that of my other computer which has the Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 at 3.16 GHz. The CPU temperature on this processor is quite cool at 55°C at hundred percent CPU loading using the skimpy stock Intel heatsink and fan at 3 GHz speed. The 55°C is actually measure on the CPU very core, and not the CPU package which may be 5°C cooler. The temperature was measured using this free software, Realtemp.
Because this CPU has 2 MB on-chip cache memory and being a dual core, it works extremely well for multitasking as compared to the Pentium 4. One nice feature I really like about this processor is the Enhanced Intel Speed Step which saves electricity by under clocking the processor when heavy processing power is not needed. The processor selects multipliers varying between 6 to 13, depending on CPU load. Also,the CPU core voltage varies based on CPU load from a high of 1.25 V to a low of about 0.8V. The maximum power dissipation on this processor is 65 W but 54 W at 3 GHz according to Sandra benchmarking software.
Considering how much this processor cost, I am extremely happy with the performance as well as the overclocking ability of this processor. I highly recommend this processor for anyone who uses their computer for normal web browsing and some video editing as well as photo editing chores. I am not a gamer, but I feel that this processor will do fairly well that purpose with a adequate graphics card installed.
