As we already wrote, the new line of Intel processors "Core 2 Duo" includes two subgroups — processors with the "E" index (their power consumption is 55-75 W) and currently the only processor with the highest clock in the series (2.93 GHz) and the "X" index that denotes power consumption above 75 W. This index certainly associates with the previous XE-series processors — eXtreme Edition. But unfortunately, the new extreme processor offers no additional bonuses versus regular desktop CPUs — just the highest clock (good) and higher power consumption (not very good...) In view of the above said, we shall not pay much attention to its technical characteristics. Let's proceed right to our tests.
