Hi all,

We have just published a review of Intel Core 2 Duo E8500, E8400 and
E8200 - if you could post a link on your site that would be very much
appreciated.*

*Quote: Just like the QX9650 and QX9770 the 45nm products are the ones
to aim for if you're considering and Intel upgrade, however /unlike/ the
Extreme Edition CPUs, the Wolfdales are *affordable*. In fact, every CPU
featured was affordable, the only exception is the Q6700 at £311.

If you're heavily into multi-threaded applications or serious
multi-tasking, then a quad-core processor will offer a greater
performance and space to breath. If you're a gamer though, a high
clocked dual-core with plenty of memory bandwidth is certainly the way
to go - the Wolfdales will oblige in every aspect.


Cheers guys!
