Here's a new review on Pentium Dual-core E2160/2140.
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/displ...tium-e2160.html Looks like at stock speeds, they loose out to AMD X2 3600+/3800+. However, they are very overclockable and at OC 3.4 Ghz, is on par with C2D x6800!! Even the AMD X2 6000+ could not compete with the x6800!! So for the budget conscious, this proc may be a potential x6800 (for so much less!!!)  |

QUOTE(kel_jink @ Jun 1 2007, 10:54 AM) Bu ti thought the chache is juz 1mb rite? So it doesn't really on par with x6800 lah duh...Juz the clock speed dats all. Definitely with lower cache, the pentium dual core will lose to x6800 in some high-cache intensive apps. However, look at the figures below and you can come to a conclusion yourself..... For the budget conscious, what is there to lose? This post has been edited by kmarc: Jun 1 2007, 11:02 AM Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(infin @ Jun 1 2007, 05:15 PM) OC affects processor lifespan? I call BS on that dude. My rig's 2+ years old, oc'ed on air all the way and it hasn't hung on me since. Right and wrong. I don't think you or I would want to have the same rig in another 3 years or even next year, for the matter, if you say I haven't had it long enough. There's no debate that OC will reduce processor lifespan (or increase the risk of processor damage, if you like) although it may still mean you can use it for another 5-10 years..... (or longer than that! Maybe processor lifespan is 20 years??!!??  )Nowadays, old rigs are still useful as a secondary rig for surfing, bittorrent (very useful!),folding and most importantly for your child/wife/partner to use so that they DON'T come and 'kacau' you to use the computer for their homework/chit-chat, etc!!!  |

I sincerely hope that AMD can at least come up with a solution.
Monopoly would be bad for us.....  |
