Core 2 Duo E8200 vs Core 2 Duo E6850 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core 2 Duo E8200 is faster than the Core 2 Duo E6850. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core 2 Duo E6850 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core 2 Duo E6850 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core 2 Duo E8200. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core 2 Duo E8200 has more L2 cache than the Core 2 Duo E6850

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core 2 Duo E8200 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
