- Bottom Line:
- Intel's Core 2 Duo E6700 offers the best price-to-performance ratio we've seen in a desktop chip. For half the cost of AMD's top-of-the-line chip, you get identical if not superior performance and better power efficiency. AMD surprised us last year with its completely dominant dual-core chips, but Intel regains the crown with Core 2 Duo.

The good: Most cost-efficient chip on the market; low power consumption makes it cooler, quieter, and easy to use in smaller PC designs.
The bad: Chipset politics between Intel and graphics card vendors hurt gamers, who now have to pick an Intel board for ATI's CrossFire or an Nvidia board for SLI cards.

SOUNDS GOOD
by dma315 on July 14, 2006
Pros: speed, cost efficient, low power, everything
Cons: uh...oh.....amd v intel at a higher scale, but consumers win!

Summary: this is going to be so amazing, every company that tested these processors say it out performs the highest AMD chip in all if not several categories, the extreme version of this blows away the AMD FX-62 in every category. I have long a follower of AMD's dominance but Intel has reswayed the market. When they put this thing in the Dell XPSs and the PowerMacs, Intel will have a foothold on the processing market for quite a while, because AMD has said it does not have an answer in 2006.

10/10 Intel!!

Pros: E6700 - Very fast and very cool processor

Summary: Just had an E6700 installed a couple of days ago and have such smooth game-play in games like Half Life & Far Cry and the temperatures don't skyrocket like with the Prescott cpu's. You can put a lot of load on this cpu without worrying about overheating and it can handle a lot of very intensive games and applications with ease. A video clip which took me 45 minutes to encode with my previous 3ghz Prescott took only 8 minutes with the E6700!!!! I can now think about doing things I wouldn't have even thought about before.

Intel Core 2 Duo ROCKS

Summary: Intel finally beats AMD in both performance and in cost, making the price performance ration better than AMD. One problem I had seen however, is that a lot people dont know whether Conroe is 64 bit. Intel should make this a bit more apparent that it is. Intel calls its 64 bit thing EM64T.
Other than that, I think this Conroe is the best I had seen from Intel for a while, I will definitely buy it.
As for AMD's answer to Conroe--the 4x4 thing, i think that isnt a really good answer, considering that its a 4 core processor compared to dual core Conroe. I mean, its pretty obvious that the performance of a 4 core processor would be better than a dual core (2) processor. -
This is all fine and dandy but is it a 64 bit chip?
by GiddyGadgetGuy on July 19, 2006
Pros: Solid and potential for supremacy
Cons: Uh, why would there be, its even got better power efficiency

Summary: Can someone help out here (cuz im not the smartest tech guy out here for sure)? I dont seem to remember reading whether it was a 64bit processor. I am all for the efficiency standards changing for the consumer and, quite frankly, competition with processors is great for the consumer too. But I'm hanging on whether its a 64 or not. Shouldn't Vista be a processor selling/manufacturing point, or is the fact that since Vista hasn't come out of the Beta quicksand yet holding up whether or not a processor has to have "future technology" like a 64 bit processor?
Also, I get it that many folks want to live in the "now" when it comes to Windows XP, the preferences with an OS that they are familiar with against the unknowns of what Vista will be or is. But since Office 2007 is coming and Vista Aero is coming, shouldn't a 64 be Intel's benchmark point here, or is a 64 too hot and not as marketable? Thanks all -
This could very well be perfection!

Summary: I'm grading this down ONE point just because I'm not quite sure my board will support this chip. I'm very very enthusiastic about this chip, and if I'm able to install it, I'll be extremely happy. I can't wait to see what this thing can do in my Area-51 3500. Granted, I originally was craving an Athlon 64 when I first bought my computer and Intel was actually a compromise, but now I'm glad I made it. If the benchmarks hold true for this thing, it won't cease to amaze me.
(Applause withheld until I actually get my hands on this thing)
