Dual-Core cpu E5200 Processor, 2.5 GHz, 2M L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB, LGA775


Buy this Product from Amazon.com

I got this with my new computer and have had no problems with it. I used to have an amd x2 3800+ and this beats it easily, I couldn't play Dirt at the minimum settings on that, it was a slide show, this one is all high at 1680x1050 resolutions with the same graphics card and 1gb more of ram and its smooth.

Runs at 65W with the new 45nm manufacturing method making it easily OC'ed to 3.5ghz someone even got it to 4ghz on air cooling! Quads and the older DC's use 95W and have the older dies making them more prone to overheat and be less stable. This is the budget OCers dream chip! I use it at stock 2.5ghz.

I get 35FPS average on the GTA4 benchmark tool at 1440x900 with medium settings and lower settings on distance and shadows numerical settings, not too bad for an eighty dollar chip versus the quads at more than double as well as the high end duals. Compared to a q6600 with the same ram, 4GB, and the same graphics card, 8800GT512, which can set it on high settings and max the numerical settings at 1600x1200 I get 75-80% the performance.
