Review on Intel E7500 Processor Socket LGA775 by Mateusz Cieciora ᠌

It was a replacement for a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz that I purchased 2.5 years ago. The primary objective was to migrate from an antiquated graphics interface (AGP 8x) to a more up-to-date PCI-E 16x platform. Neither overclocking nor video editing are among my favorite uses for my computer; I use it primarily for entertainment purposes. Back when I was devoting virtually all of my free time to World of Warcraft, I noticed a marked improvement in my productivity overall. In other words, an incremental improvement is hardly revolutionary. The vendor recommended this processor, and I went with his suggestion. You won't get a great deal if you overpay for an older model. Quad-cores are more expensive but offer similar performance to dual-cores in terms of frequency, albeit I find they excel at just a small subset of workloads. As such, I rate the 8400 as a top choice among Core2Duo processors. I purchased Starcraft 2 in 2010, and since then I've learned that Core2Duo can't handle it. The game is awkward to play in team matches, and big groups of units cause the screen to stutter and stop. It was not enough of a signal to warrant an upgrade, but that's too bad. Investing in one of these processors at this time would be a waste of money because newer models like the Core i5 and AMD Phenom II X6 offer twice the performance of the older Core2Duo for the same price.
