Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8700
The Intel Core 2 Duo E8700 is a desktop processor. It has 2 cores and 2 threads, a base clock of 3.50 GHz, a 65 W TDP and the FCLGA775 socket.
Overview
SummaryThe Intel Core 2 Duo E8700 is a desktop processor with 2 cores and 2 threads. It uses the FCLGA775 socket. Rated TDP is 65 W.
Performance
5 metricsThe Intel Core 2 Duo E8700 scores 1,302 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 1,212 for engineering performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 651 per core, 651 per thread and 20 per watt. Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
Workload sub-scores (integer math, floating point, compression, encryption, physics, SIMD, prime sieve and sorting) are not recorded for the Intel Core 2 Duo E8700.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Core Configuration
6 specsThe Intel Core 2 Duo E8700 has 2 physical cores and runs 2 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 3.50 GHz.
