e7200

clipped from www.hothardware.com Sporting a core design built on 45nm technology, a smaller amount of L2 cache (compared to previous generation Core 2’s), and lower clock speed and front side bus speeds, its friendly thermal and power consumption aspects aren’t entirely surprising, although they’re good to see. The chip runs at low temperatures, even with minimal cooling, most media playback software doesn’t require more than two processor cores and will likely benefit from the architecture’s SSE4 instruction enhancements for encoding purposes.  decide to put a massive cooler on top of the chip as we did, you will be rewarded with excellent overclocking abilities.
