5.0 out of 5 stars Great processor!, August 8, 2007

This review is from: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Dual-Core Processor, 2.66 GHZ, 4M L2 Cache, 1333MHz FSB, LGA775 (Personal Computers)

This processor just arrived from Intel and it is fantastic. Intel recently had a round of price drops on their new line of processor's. At 2.66ghz per core, you can do multiple things without lag. This processor was one of the first to introduce the new 1333 front side bus as well. Highly recommend if you are looking to build your own computer. Stay away from the 6600 and the 6700, they are older models and the new 6*50 models are the one's that you want because the price is cheaper and they have a faster front side bus.

4.0 out of 5 stars Was The Best CPU, January 29, 2008

This review is from: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Dual-Core Processor, 2.66 GHZ, 4M L2 Cache, 1333MHz FSB, LGA775 (Personal Computers)

E6750 was the best Intel CPU with terrific price/performance ratio. It outperforms the infamous E6600 and easily outshines Q6600 in gaming area.
With Intel's aggressive marketing plan this year, E6750 is replaced by its own brother E8400.

E8400, code name Wolfdale, is a 45nm Core product. Several tests have already revealed that E8400 performs better, consume less power and is way cooler. (good for overclocking.) I fully understand this review is about E6750 not about promoting E8400. However, when you look at the price, you have to compare them together.

As of today, you can get E6750 retail box for $187 from Amazon. Surprisingly, add two dollars more, you can get a retail boxed E8400 (before tax though.)

What it means is you're no longer paying less money for the best performance if you choose E6750. This might upset E6750 die hard fans but technology is a cruel world. And you definitely don't want to end up paying older technology with the same money you can get a newer one.

One last thing. Many people are wondering E6750 vs. Q6600. Here's how to make your choice.
If you're a gamer, do NOT touch Q6600. You won't see any gain for those dollars you invested. In reality, you might experience performance loss.

If you're doing a lot video/movie editing, you might want go extra miles to acquire Q6600. In this case, you will feel great for the extra $80 you invested.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intel is back. Did you ever have a doubt?, December 8, 2007

This review is from: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Dual-Core Processor, 2.66 GHZ, 4M L2 Cache, 1333MHz FSB, LGA775 (Personal Computers)

After a brief stint playing second fiddle to AMD, Intel is back on top with its new line of Core 2 multiple core processors. Not going to say much that hasn't already been stated so this review will be short.

This particular processor is awesome! I selected it at the time over the quad core simply because of power consumption of being 65nm. I run my computer 24/7 and didn't really want to pay the added cost for the Quad. I'll reconsider when desktop versions of the 45nm core come out.

Back to the processor, I highly recommend it. If you want to run it at the stock speed, the processor performs well. If you want to overclock it for more performance, then this thing screams! (Relatively speaking of course)
