Intel Core 2 Duo review

Verdict

A diverse family including some stellar CPUs and numerous also-rans.

Review Date: 16 Apr 2008

Price when reviewed: to £174

Overall Rating
5 stars out of 6

The high-end E8000s, however, are an unqualified success. They're faster than anything AMD has to offer, and achieve similar benchmark scores to Intel's own Core 2 Quad range for a much lower price.

Of course, if you're a power user demanding maximum performance, a quad-core processor may better suit your needs. But for a fast desktop or gaming PC, the E8000 series is ideal, with the E8200 in particular representing fantastic value for money.
