Intel E7200 Processor Review

The upcoming Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 looks to be a price versus performance winner from what we can tell from the time spent with our early sample. If the rumored price of $133 is correct and the retail versions overclock like ours did then this will be hands down one of the hottest dual-core processors this summer. Intel has perfected the 45nm process and every new processor series they release based on it exceeds our expectations. The Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 is one of those processors.

When it came to performance, the Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 at default clock speeds was not hands down faster than the Intel Core 2 Duo E6750, but we'd pick the E7200 over it any day since it can be overclocked up to a 1333MHz FSB with just a single BIOS setting adjustment. Factor in overclocking beyond that and you have a price versus performance winner as overclocks over 50 percent are hard to ignore.

Intel informed us that the Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 is a 65W part, but it seems like it might actually be less. Our power consumption numbers showed that the Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 used significantly less power than the Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 and performed nearly the same in the majority of our benchmarks. With less power consumption the processor puts off less heat, so another thumbs up for the Intel Core 2 Duo E7200.

With nothing bad to say about the Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 and a rumored price at launch of $133, this is a value if we've seen one.

In other words, E7200 performs almost as good as E6750, consume less power and overclocks better.


EDIT: A new review for E7200 from xbitlabs

I believe it won’t be too much to say that Intel prepared another remarkable product. From the user standpoint, the main advantage of Core 2 Duo E7200 is the fact that its launch reduced the cost of a new CPU with 45nm core. As a result, the new processor that came to replace Core 2 Duo E4700 raises the performance bar for mainstream Intel processors quite noticeably. Of course, it is not faster than Core 2 Duo E8000, losing about 10% to it, but it is significantly faster than Core 2 Duo E6550 and is just a little behind Core 2 Duo E6750. Moreover, Core 2 Duo E7200 boasts great overclocking potential and is capable of hitting frequencies close to 4GHz with just a few simple tricks.

Another strong advantage of the new processor is the lowest heat dissipation among the dual-core the desktop CPUs. It makes this solution extremely interesting not only as a basis for regular mainstream PCs but also as a suitable processor for quiet HTPC systems.
