RyanSmithAT: We have all the source vector art.RyanSmithAT: CES media days have already started, and AMD is out of the gate with a quick teaser of a Ryzen 6000 Mobile announce….ganeshts: Proud to be part of the engineering team that is bringing these SoCs into the market.Sub-75W? We'll see I've been prodding AMD for an answer on that

RyanSmithAT: Single slot? No, not at these TDPs.

107W is the minimum TBP for that product.

RyanSmithAT: And I've received an answer from AMD: no sub-75W RX 6500 XT parts.

At this point the company is still targe…

RyanSmithAT: Caught up with Intel this afternoon on their Arc video card release plans.

Well done on your terrible photo selection.

IanCutress: Wrong company, different product family, different era.

IanCutress: It's just a name of a process.

IanCutress: Nm in the context of modern semiconductor manufacturing nodes is a name, not a measurement.

IanCutress: That just makes zero sense.

IanCutress: Makes it sound like this is the highest level of achievement some parents think their child will get.

Today we'll find out for sure if the E6300 will be the low-cost dual core CPU to have. The E6400 is now more expensive than the X2 4200+, a comparison that we will be able to look at in-depth today to determine a winner at the low $180 - $230 price range.Īnd finally we have the E6300, which now is a more expensive competitor to our long-time favorite: the Athlon 64 X2 3800+. If the E6600's street price ends up being significantly higher than the table's suggested $316, the 5000+ (assuming its street price is not also inflated by demand) will be a nice alternative. The Athlon 64 X2 5000+ is now cheaper than the Core 2 Duo E6600, which was really necessary considering that the E6600 is faster than the Athlon 64 FX-62 across the board.

The new pricing structure can be seen below: CPU AMD also announced its intentions to acquire ATI Technologies, but we'll save that discussion for a forthcoming article. New PricingĪMD hasn't been sitting idle this week its extremely aggressive price cuts go into effect, making the Athlon 64 X2 a more affordable CPU in many cases compared to Intel's Core 2 processors. In the past we'd simply recommend buying AMD, but with Core 2 Duo the overclocking prospects are too intriguing to ignore. We've already seen that the high end Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme CPUs are fairly overclockable, thanks in no small part to Intel's 65nm manufacturing process, but what about at the low end? Can you take a $183 Core 2 Duo E6300 and through overclocking achieve performance similar to the more expensive E6600 or even the almighty X6800? It's been a while since we've even wanted to overclock an Intel CPU in order to get better performance. In addition to the question of performance, there's also the issue of overclockability. We already illustrated in our earlier review that the larger L2 cache found in the E6600 and above is good for up to 10% of a performance boost depending on the application, but the fact of the matter is that the cheapest 4MB Core 2 Duo is $316 while you can have the E6300 and E6400 for $183 and $224 respectively.

The E6300 and E6400 are particularly attractive members of the Core 2 family because of their fairly low cost unfortunately their performance isn't as easy to predict because they are currently the only two Core 2 processors that don't have a 4MB L2 cache. We're still hard at work on investigating issues like 64-bit performance and comparing performance per Watt across more applications, but today we're here with another piece of the puzzle: a look at the Core 2 Duo E6300 and E6400. Over a week has passed since our Core 2 Extreme & Core 2 Duo review and although the dust is finally starting to settle, not all questions have been answered.
