Intel Core 2 Duo 8600 CPU

What Other Reviewers are Saying:

Xbitlabs : Yes, Core 2 Duo E8600 works at 3.33GHz - 166MHz higher clock frequency than that of Core 2 Duo E8500, and it is the highest frequency in the entire Core 2 family. However, it is not the most interesting thing about it. It is much more important that together with the launch of the new processor Intel will introduce into mass market new E0 Wolfdale stepping.

Firingsquad : While it has nearly been two years since the first quad-core CPU arrived from Intel, we're still in a holding pattern waiting for more apps that are truly capable of taking advantage of all four cores: we've certainly seen games with independent threads for physics, networking, AI, etc, but none of them have really made a profound case for upgrading to quad core.

Legitreviews : Processors come in various revisions as the manufacturers test and modify the circuits that comprise the finished product. For most consumers the E8600 is just another speed bump in Intel's product line. For a small number of consumers the E8600 represents a means to hitting 4500+MHz consistently. For an even smaller portion of consumers, the E8600 makes the QX9650 and QX9770 obsolete for most benchmarking.

CDRinfo : Some time ago we had the chance to review the first batch of Intel's 45nm quad-core cpu processors code-named Yorkfield and today we will examine the latest and fastest Wolfdale C2D processor, the Intel C2D E8600. All the latest Wolfdale processors come with a 6MB L2 cache and feature support a 1333MHz FSB. Let's start with a quick comparison amongthe various C2D series of processors.
