We're writing to let you all know that we have just posted a new article at HotHardware in which we evaluate the features and performance of Intel's recently released, Wolfdale-based Core 2 Duo E8500 processor. The E8500 uses Intel's 45nm Penryn derived Wolfdale core, with a 3.16GHz clock speed, 6MB of L2 cache, and support for SSEE4.1. Overall, even in its stock configuration this processor was a strong performer, while consuming less power than Intel's 65nm processors. But while overclocked to over 4GHz on air-cooling alone, it put up some truly impressive benchmark scores. Head on over to the site and take a look...

The Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 that we specifically looked at in this article did very well in the benchmarks and consistently beat the AMD Phenom 9600 Black Edition quad-core processor. This goes to show how well the Wolfdale core has been developed and also how bad of a position AMD is in when it comes to processors. When it came to overclocking, the 45nm Wolfdale processors do great and hitting 500MHz FSB is easily possible, which means 2GHz DDR3 memory kits can be finally released and companies like Corsair Memory have already launched such products...
