About this product

Product Information

Developed and distributed by the Intel Corporation, the Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 is a versatile desktop CPU that runs at 3.16 GHz, providing all the power necessary to game and work with ease. Released in the first quarter of 2008 as part of the Wolfdale line, this processor handles very demanding software. Built upon the trustworthy frame of Intel Core microarchitecture, the Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 offers an array of technologies. Its features work together to maintain the smooth operation of the computing environment. Built for use with LGA775/T socket motherboards, this 45-nanometer dual-core runs at a speed of 3.16 GHz. It also utilizes a 6 MB L2 cache. Because a CPU of this type has a high-frequency multiplier (9.5x), the Duo E8500 is overclocked to 4 GHz. This is accomplished by combining it with a sufficient cooling system and changing certain settings in the BIOS. The front-side bus (FSB) clocks in at 1333MHz, allowing for rapid exchanges of data between the dual core and the memory controller hub. The instruction set of the chip is 64-bit and capable of virtualization when multiple users are employing the same system. Desktop users use DDR2 or DDR3 versions of 4GB RAM modules in conjunction with the hardware. With such impressive specifications, this Core optimizes the efficiency of the read and write operations of the hard drive.The Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 sports several impressive technologies that help make the user’s workflow more efficient, such as Intel’s Advanced Smart Caching. This feature allows the processor to take advantage of dynamic allocation of the L2 cache with a peak transfer rate of 96 GB/s. The Wide Dynamic Execution enables it to execute more instructions within each clock cycle. In addition, Intel’s Smart Memory Access intelligently arranges core execution orders for data use optimization. These features increase speed and enhance performance for intensive tasks. Furthermore, this CPU running at 3.16 GHz has a thermal design power (TDP) designation of 65W. While notably low, the core sometimes generates a lot of heat when under heavy loads. Intel’s Intelligent Power Capability mitigates the effects of such excessive heat from the core. It monitors power consumption and reduces the noise of the system. By implementing the aforementioned technologies, Intel lengthens the life of its processors while preserving the integrity of systems.Combined with an air cooling system and a compatible motherboard, this line of CPUs provides optimal performance. Whirring along at 3.16 GHz, it supports all of your everyday computing and gaming needs. Even while running at 3.16 GHz, it consumes power efficiently and appropriately divides tasks between cores for interruption-free processing. The CPU offers high-performance features that keep gamers in the game and workers productive. With a reputation for providing great performance to users worldwide, this processor has what it takes to get the job done. For both gaming and work environments, the Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 is an excellent choice that enhances your computing experience.

  • Best Dual Core upgrade for a G41 machine

    I used this to upgrade a 10 year old e-Machines Celeron PC which was performing awful. According to benchmarks this cpu scored about 40% better than the Celeron E3400 that it was running. The computer is used for regular office tasks as well as web browsing. Adding this CPU and increasing the RAM to 4GB made an abismal difference, it runs extremely smooth now. A really inexpensive way to give new life to a system. 100% Recommended, however if your motherboard supports core 2 quads then you should definitely go for one of those instead, they perform much better than this and the cost is not much higher, but keep in mind those need higher voltages and better cooling.

  • ‹(•¿•)› ...A++. Gr8 dng bz .Vry Prmpt. 1st class..//gd item//pkg gd. ez install, as described (V) aj2k2

    This cpu is in good working condition. Core duo, 2 core processor. Included are L1 L2 L3 cache. L3 cache is about 6mb which is very good. CPU speed is good, not slow, not fast, about 3ghz. EZ install, so far so good. Get a mobo that can take up to 8gb, ur set to go. Socket 775 mobo only for this processor. bus speed 1333mhz The description above is exact. Core 2 Duo E8500 Socket 775 CPU Processor 3.16GHz/6M/1333 Try it out, it's worth the chnage from a solo core to a duo. You will see the difference. Its an old cpu, but it can compete with the new ones. Of course the higher the core the better overall performance.

  • A great performing processor for the money

    I wanted to build me a good Windows XP gaming computer from the 2008-2009 era. With this CPU, it runs all of my all time favorite older game titles that were designed for Windows XP very well. This is a cheap, well worth it solution.
