Gaming Applications

If Athlon 64 processors used to outperform their competitors in 3D games quite tangibly, now we can say the same about Core 2 Duo. E6300 processor working at its nominal speed appeared faster than Athlon 64 3800+ in most games: 6.8% faster in Quake 4, 7% faster in F.E.A.R., 18% faster in half-Life 2 and 18.7% faster in Far Cry. After overclocking, the situation looks even rosier for this processor: Core 2 Duo is an indisputable absolute leader.
