As is known, to the first quarter 2010 is planned the release of Intel clarkdale processor (according to other data, Intel transferred the mass production. Of clarkdale to the fourth quarter present year). Associate obtained at their disposal the engineering model clarkdale, calculated for the clock frequency 3,06 GHz, and they made a small test.
This processor is equipped with 4 mb cache in the third level and supports the technology hyper-Threading. For comparison, we selected the processor core 2 Duo 8400. According to the test results clarkdale noticeably exceeds Core 2 Duo e8400, but in games increase in the productivity is almost imperceptible.
Associate was unable to raise the frequency of this engineering model above 4 GHz, even with an increase in the core voltage. Concerning the required power, Clarkdale shows 6-10 W lower than Core 2 Duo e8400.
