Core2Duo E8200 E8400 E8500 Gaming Performance Review Part2

Part 1: Specifications & Test Platform
Part 2: Crysis & World in Conflict
Part 3: Power Consumption


Test Result

Crysis with the latest 1.21 patch installed, running in 64-bit & DirectX mode.








E8500 takes the lead in Crysis. Surprisingly, E6750 seems to do just as good as the E8200. Clock speed & L2 seems to be the winning formula here. Q6600, Q6700 & the Phenoms aren't doing very well here.





World in Conflict

This is tested based on the retail copy with the 1.007 patch installed, which includes some bug fixes & performance enhancement under DirectX 10.








World in Conflict gave the quad cores a slight advantage here. At lower resolution, the E8000 series beats all competitors. Unfortunately, the Phenom X4s are still nowhere near the Conroes, let alone the Wolfdales.
