Who needs a E8400 when you can do this?

E5200 @ 4 GHz is damn impressive.

I'd make sure Large FFTs is stable as well though...run Blend overnight.

Not trying to "rain on his parade" but his thread title could be misinterpreted by someone who doesn't know better. To me, this is spreading misinformation. His thread title makes it seem as though his chip can outperform every E8400 and I was merely showing that it was not a true comparison.

Hehehe, the title was an exaggeration. Nobody in their right mind would argue E5's can really compete with E8's clock for clock. I just think that at 4G it's good enough for games and if you want a significant performance increase for the money you spend on an E8 you might as well get a quad.

Demiurge, check this E5200 out:

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=530353

Vcore is somewhere near 2.05v

LOL i prefer our OP's 4 GHz with reasonable vcore.

Besides gaming at low resolutions, how does it help? Most people game with widescreen 1280x800 or 1440x900 at least these days with at least some AA/AF. No one overclocks, then games at 1024x768 with no aa/af. No one does that for real world.

Edit: nvm

 

[E4300]

Raise the core speed of E5200 and E8400 to 3.4GHz, then check FPS at 1920 x 1200. The difference will be negligible (less than 2 FPS). Running the test @ 2.0GHz stacks the deck against the E5200.
