Alright so I'm just a little bit interested. I have a Pentium Dual-Core 2.7 E5400. Would you say it preforms just as good as a Core 2 Duo at 2.4? 2.6? 2.7? What processor would you compare it to?
The E5400 scores 1744 on the Passmark benchmarks. That is 159th from the top of the list.
The Intel Core 2 Duo 6750, 2.66 ghz, scores 1635 and is 180th on the list, slightly below you.
The Intel Core 2 Duo 6850, 3.00 ghz, scores 1861 and is 145th on the list, slightly above you.
To get into the top 100 on a single traditional Intel processor, you have to go to a Quad Core 6600 or higher or into the i5 and i7 series.
The Intel i7 975 at 3.33 scores 6920. It is ranked 3rd on the list. The 2 higher ranked machines are both Intel Xeons.
