Intel Core 2 Duo E6400

The Core 2 E6400 boasts many of the same key features found in Intel?s more expensive Core 2 Duo CPUs ? in fact it?s built on the same manufacturing line ? only Intel disables half the processor?s cache and it runs at a lower clock speed: 2.13GHz. In comparison, the Core 2 Duo E6700 runs at 2.66GHz, while the Core 2 Extreme X6800 runs at 2.93GHz. With the smaller cache and slower speed the Core 2 Duo E6400 commands a significantly lower price, just $224 compared to the $999 price tag of the Core 2 Extreme X6800 and $530 price of the Duo E6700, making it a tempting alternative to the more expensive Core 2 CPUs. In fact we can?t recall the last time a next-gen CPU launched with such affordable pricing.
