Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz = Which Intel Pentium D Processor?
Everything else being equal, and perhaps even the motherboard, since I
heard that on some motherboards, such as Intel's D946GZIS, you can just swap between the Pentium D and Core 2 Duo procs, which of the Pentium D proc would equal the Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz in terms of processing capability? I understand that the proc speed is pretty much irrelevant when comparing, but I'm curious about the raw processing/computing capability, everything else being equal. TIA. |

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz = Which Intel Pentium D Processor?
For doing what? Check out the charts at
http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html, or your favorite hardware site. AFAIK, the only thing that will consistently beat the E6400 is an E6600 or faster. Possibly an AMD FX-62, in an AMD platform (obviously). Some of the other Intel processors (Pentium D 670, the EE 965, etc) may beat the E6400 on some benchmarks, but overall, probably not. They'll also generate much more heat, and around here, anyway, they'll cost more and are much harder to find. Clint "Holy Crikey" wrote in message ...

I understand that the proc speed is pretty much irrelevant when comparing, but I'm curious about the raw processing/computing capability, everything else being equal. TIA. My comparisons of both cores running full bore for hours running my software tests, showed the C2D 2.6 G is 1.75x faster than a PD 3G (both systems are pretty similar ... a Dell 9100 and 9200). So, I would estimate the 2.13G C2D to perform roughly like a PD at 3.7G. Obviously, it depends on the tasks at hand. My tests are a mix of standard integer and floating point code, not particularly optimized for any processor. Peter |
