Intel Pentium E6300 Best bang for the buck ? Cache test revisited

CPU by leeghoofd @ 2009-07-29

When Intel released the Pentium E6300, many people were wondering: didn´t Intel release this CPU a long time ago ? Intel entered the rebranding game ? What are the differences then and does the Pentium E6300 still deliver the power for today´s application and games ? Time to explore !

400FSB Action

4000Mhz go baby go

Still want more, not getting aroused by anything under 4ghz? Let's up the FSB to 400 and keep the multi at 10X.

Nothing new on the horizon here. The scaling remains the same between the 3 candidates. Wprime32 is getting very close, Wprime 1024 remains a healthy 3 sec gap between 2 and 6Mb cache.

Everest test seems to remain pretty consistent throughout the tests... cache doesn't influence ram bandwith at all on socket 775.

Winrar powers on, enjoying every extra Kb of cache. The E8600 absolutely goes nuts now.

PCMark and CPU bench continue to scale nice with the extra added CPU power from the OC. Cinebench remains pretty close, not taking full advantage of the cache.

The distance between the CPU's get larger as we increase total CPU speed in 3DMark01. If 3D benching is ya game go flatout and buy the larger cache CPU.

3DMark06 total scores rest in line with the previous FSB tests. Though CPU scores wise the E6300 closes the gap with the E7400, yet the E8600 shows no mercy and keeps on kicking butt.

Might have been better to crank up the resolution here, as the numbers are getting pretty silly as we start to approach 100FPS in FarCry2 and even 180 in Tom Clancy's HawX and Left4Dead. And those are average numbers baby !

Intel pulls a Nvidia it seems ...

how so? the Core 2 E6300 clocked in at 1.86ghz, this Pentium E6300 is running at 2.8Ghz. If anything, you get MORE.

NVIDIA changes the NAME of the SAME product. Keeping the SAME performance.
Intel re-uses the NAME for a DIFFERENT product. Increasing the performance.

this is completely the opposite Massman
