Value for money

To get the index we compare the characteristics of the processors and their cost, taking into account the cost of other processors.

Technical specs

Basic microprocessor parameters such as number of cores, number of threads, base frequency and turbo boost clock, lithography, cache size and multiplier lock state. These parameters can generally indicate CPU performance, but to be more precise you have to review its test results.

Compatibility

Information on Core 2 Duo E8400 compatibility with other computer components and devices: motherboard (look for socket type), power supply unit (look for power consumption) etc. Useful when planning a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. Note that power consumption of some processors can well exceed their nominal TDP, even without overclocking. Some can even double their declared thermals given that the motherboard allows to tune the CPU power parameters.

Technologies and extensions

Technological capabilities and additional instructions supported by Core 2 Duo E8400. You'll probably need this information if you require some particular technology.

Security technologies

Processor technologies aimed at improving security, for example, by protecting against hacks.

Virtualization technologies

Supported virtual machine optimization technologies. Some are specific to Intel only, some to AMD.

Memory specs

Types, maximum amount and channel number of RAM supported by Core 2 Duo E8400's memory controller. Depending on the motherboard, higher memory frequency may be supported.

Intel Socket 775

The Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 was a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in January 2008. It is part of the Core 2 Duo lineup, using the Wolfdale architecture with Socket 775. Core 2 Duo E8400 has 6MB of L2 cache and operates at 3 GHz. Intel is building the Core 2 Duo E8400 on a 45 nm production process using 410 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Core 2 Duo E8400, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 65 W, the Core 2 Duo E8400 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. Intel's processor supports DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. For communication with other components in the machine, Core 2 Duo E8400 uses a PCI-Express Gen 2 connection. This processor does not have integrated graphics, you will need a separate graphics card.

What is the maximum RAM for Core 2 Duo?

A:THIS PROCESSOR SUPPORT G31 CHIPSET MOTHERBOARD (MAX 4GB DDR2 RAM) & G41 CHIPSET MOTHERBOARD (MAX 8GB DDR3), YES IT SUPPORT PUB G, WITH G41 CHIPSET MOTHERBOARD + 8GB RAM + 2GB GRAPHIC CARD.

Does Core 2 Duo E8400 support 8GB RAM?

Can I upgrade my RAM to 8GB with my Core 2 Duo processor? Yes u can!

Can I upgrade my RAM to 8GB with my Core 2 Duo processor?

Yes u can! I've upgraded my cpu Intel 2 core 2.8 gHz from 4 to 8GB and it runs Windows 10 without any problem.

Can I use DDR4 RAM in Core 2 Duo?

Not possible as Core 2 Duo series does not support memory module above 1333fbs which was max at its time while DDR4 is associated with 6th gen i series and above which means processor will bottleneck if someone even try to combine together Core 2 series with DDR4 module.
