View Single Post - intel core 2 duo e4300 vs intel pentium d 940 dual core

Hey guys,

Okay, these are the two processors I looked at:

1) Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 Allendale 1.8GHz 2M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail

2) Intel Pentium D 940 Presler 3.2GHz 2 x 2MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Dual Core, EM64T Processor - Retail

I was just wondering which one of these processors will be quicker in processing games, 3d applications, web browsing, etc. I looked at both of these and the price range in these two intel processors are about the same according to Newegg's prices

. Anyhow, I know the cache in the intel pentium d is 2 x 2mb. Does this cache make a huge difference in how fast the processor is actually running? Just from the look of the cache and ghz the intel pentium d, I would assume that the intel pentium d is far better than the e4300. Does anyone know which one of these two processors is better? The intel core 2 duo e4300 , or intel pentium d 940.

Thanks,

Chingy
