Pentium Dual Core E5400 2.7GHz Review

The Pentium Dual-Core brand was used for mainstream x86-architecture microprocessors from Intel from 2006 to 2009 when it was renamed to Pentium. The processors are based on either the 32-bit Yonah or (with quite different microarchitectures) 64-bit Merom-2M, Allendale, and Wolfdale-3M core, targeted at mobile or desktop computers.
In terms of features, price and performance at a given clock frequency, Pentium Dual-Core processors were positioned above Celeron but below Core and Core 2 microprocessors in Intel's product range. The Pentium Dual-Core was also a very popular choice for overclocking, as it can deliver optimal performance (when overclocked) at a low price.

Can I just say that no its not a quad core...no its not an i3 or an i5 or an i7. But for a midrange Dual Core this CPU kicks BUTT! I love it for heavy multitasking and gaming...running WaW with everything but dual GFX on YES on my rig with this CPU! highly recommended for a Pentium!!
