Released in the last summer, Intel's CPUs with the Core micro-architecture have won over the hearts of an overwhelming share of PC enthusiasts. Today, these CPUs provide the highest performance at relatively low heat dissipation and power consumption. Besides that, Core 2 Duo processors boast excellent overclockability that allows using them at frequencies far above their default ones. There is only one drawback about the Core 2 Duo. CPUs from this series are rather expensive, that's why they haven't yet conquered all the sectors of the CPU market. The junior model of the series cost as much as $183 (according to the official price-list), which cannot satisfy users who are limited in their PC budget.
