Wolfdale for Economical Enthusiasts: Core 2 Duo E7200 Review

[Abstract]
I don’t think anyone will argue that the transition to 45nm production process allowed Intel to significantly improve their processors on Core micro-architecture. It seems that th...
It’s just the opposite of what we’ve seen in games. The influence of the bus speed and the amount of cache memory is low here as is indicated by the results: the Core 2 Duo E7200 is close behind the Core 2 Duo E8200, mostly due to the lower clock rate. The more advanced micro-architecture of the 45nm core helps the Core 2 Duo E7200 overtake the 65nm predecessor despite the latter’s higher clock rate. The new CPU cannot catch up with the Core 2 Duo E6750, though.
