Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 Review

Testing:

Specview 10 is a benchmark designed to test OpenGL performance. I will be using the multi-threaded tests to measure the performance when run in this mode. The tests used for comparison are listed below. The default multi-threaded tests were chosen to be able to compare across platforms. In these tests, higher scores equate to better performance. Since the E8400 is a Dual core CPU on the two thread test will be run in Specview.

• Catia
• MAYA
• PROE

Higher is Better

PcMark Vantage is used to measure complete system performance. We will be running a series of tests to gauge performance of each individual board to see which board, if any, rises above the others.

Comparing how the E7200 scored against the other CPUs, it is just thoroughly outclassed, even by the E8400. Lower bus speed and less L2 cache could be part of the equation.
