Intel Pentium E2160 and Pentium E2140

@ 2007/05/31
Intel Company started shipping new dual-core processors on Core micro-architecture. One of their major advantages is very low price of only $90. But are these intriguing newcomers as attractive as their counterparts from Core 2 Duo family? We are going to answer this question with our extensive performance and overclocking tests!

DDR2 price at retail is rising fast ...... get them while a few "sales" are still available.

Damn. Just when I thought I'd narrowed down to a 690G MB and low power AM2 x2...

at stock speeds, they'll be easily kept cool with a larger passive, or smaller slow fanned heatsink

It would have been nice if he'd also compared thermal output between the AMD's & Intel's. I'm considering both for HTPC use.

evga 650i board ~$100
DDR2 667 2 x 1 GB ~$70
E2160 ~$90

Nice upgrade from X2

My laptop using the cheapo 2060T @1.6 Gz 1 mb cache scores 4.5 CPU, 4.3 memory in Vista; wish I could oc it.
