Crush your enemies, climb the tower of paperwork -- or do both at the same time. Intel's Core 2 Quad Q8200 not only makes it possible, it makes it easy. The Core 2 Quad Q8200 has four cores that run at 2.33GHz and shares 4MB of L2 cache.

Quad cores means true multi-tasking and multi-threading. Tasks or threads get their own core; no more sharing one core and set of clock cycles. This lets you turn your system into the ultimate home entertainment center PC. One core handles the usual action on your operating system, while the second can play a DVD on the TV, the third download a file from internet, and the fourth one sends audio to the kids in another room with no lags or stutters. All this is made easier with Intel’s advanced Digital Media Boost.

The 45nm Intel Core 2 Quad processor is armed with Intel HD Boost, which implementing new Intel Streaming SIMD Extension 4.1 (Intel SSE4.1) instructions for fast high definition video editing and encoding, enhance the multimedia performance.

  • newegg Intel Core 2 Quad-core Processor With four processing cores, the multitasking monster Quad-Core Intel Core 2 processor delivers fourfold the performance on highly-threaded applications, taking your desktop PC experience into a completely new realm of mega power. The powerful processor delivers serious performance on the ultra-demanding games of today and tomorrow. The innovative 45nm quad-core technology optimizes thermal performance for reduced power consumption and noise.
  • newegg Intel Advanced Smart Cache Intel Advanced Smart Cache Technology dynamically allocates the shared L2 cache to each processor core based on workload. This efficient, multi-core-optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from fast L2 cache, resulting in significantly reduced latency for frequently used data and improved performance.
  • newegg Intel Wide Dynamic Execution With Intel Wide Dynamic Execution, each of the four cores can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously, improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle.
  • newegg Execute Disable Bit (EDB) Intel's Execute Disable Bit function can prevent certain classes of malicious "buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.

5 out of 5 eggsQuad

Cons: None really that I could think of.

Other Thoughts: Helps with Maya 2010 and adobe programs a great deal.

5 out of 5 eggsNice little Quad

Pros: I've had this installed and running smooth now for almost six months now. Easy to install, no weird issues to report. Super fast little quad core. Runs the latest games just great.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Apps that utilize all four cores run great on this CPU. Even single threaded apps and games don't skip a beat.

4 out of 5 eggsNo VT? Runs Hyper-V Core R2

Pros: It is true what the poster below said about the chip not supporting VT according to the cited Intel page. I however picked this chip up and have been using it for several months now with a core installation of MS Hyper-V R2. It not only runs it, but it is rock solid. I have 4 2k8r2 VM's buzzing away with not so much as a hiccup.

Cons: I am pretty happy with it....

5 out of 5 eggsGreat overall, not the best overclock

Pros: LGA775, reliable, stable, 4 cores, fast, easy to cool, and affordable.

Cons: Not the best overclocking processor in the Q8xxx/Q9xxx series. Chip's FSB is close to being maxed out already. Does not support Intel's virtualization optimization options.

Other Thoughts: If you are reading this review right now because you want another or your first quad-core for an LGA775, spend a couple extra dollars and get a Q9400 or higher model chip.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat Processor, but no Intel VT

Pros: The pricing here is pretty high (I paid a bit less for it), but the processor is great for home use and more. I use it in my computer everyday and it handles everything rather well from light gaming to school work. The fan that comes with this is also pretty good and it's quiet, but if you want to do anything intense, then you might want to get a better cooling system.

Cons: First of all, the pricing for this is kind of high. The Q8400 is a little better than this, but it's $14 cheaper. Also, as the title indicates, this is one of the few Intel Core 2 family processors that doesn't have Intel Virtualization Technology. You can still use software virtualization, which allows you to run a 32-bit guest OS using a virtualization program, but the only way for you to run a 64-bit OS is to use hardware-assisted virtualization, which requires Intel VT. If you want 64-bit virtualization, don't get this. Unfortunately, Newegg doesn't tell whether or not their processors have Intel VT in the specifications page.

Other Thoughts: Overall, a very good processor, but Newegg should really start indicating whether or not the processors have virtualization technology. If I had known, I would've gotten the Q8400, which has Intel VT and is just slightly better than this (they're almost the same).

-1 egg for pricing and lack of Intel VT.

3 out of 5 eggsnot bad... could be better

Pros: its a quad... its cheap... it was only $100 when I bought it

I have owned a few of them... one of them is still in my Home Theater PC, it is running @ 2.8GHz on stock voltage...

Cons: for its current price there are much better choices! the heat spreader on these are junk... after a good lapping they will drop between 6c and as high as 14c at full load... well worth it but its time consuming and it tends to void your warranty...

most people will not be able to OC this CPU past the 3.2GHz mark... even at 3.6GHz it only does a solid 40GFlops...

this CPU is limited by its low multiplier and low L2 cache

Other Thoughts: great for an HTPC... bump the FSB to 400 (1600) and maybe even lower the CPU voltage a little bit

3 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Decent performance

Cons: I bought this processor when it was $160, at this point you can get a lot better processors from AMD for a lot less, or you can spend a bit more and get an i5 or i7 processor from intel.

Other Thoughts: Overall this processor isn't worth it anymore, there are many faster and cheaper processors out there. Do your research and find a better deal before you consider buying this one

3 out of 5 eggsWARNING - No VT-x

Pros: Quad Core & 64-bit

Cons: NO VT-x

This processor was purchased to power a server running Hyper-V. Unfortunately this is the only quad core processor Intel makes that doesn't support virtualization. Don't make the same mistake that I made! Spend the extra 20 bucks and get the Q8400.

4 out of 5 eggsWhat more could you ask for?

Pros: This is a great CPU and does exactly what you would expect. I put it in my HTPC and it works like a champ!

Cons: Well, the stock heatsink and fan is utter rubbish. In a decent case with decent airflow it would be average and just adequate if you don't mind a little noise. But this was in my HTPC and it was too noisy and a bit on the warm side. But this isn't so much a con as it is a warning to those that need either a quiet experience or a cool on you will need to get an after market heatsink and fan.

Other Thoughts: Once I went back to Intel I never looked elsewhere again.

3 out of 5 eggsgreat cpu...

Pros: i love quads...dont get me wrong id die for em...and ive read great reviews about it. its totaly worth buying...but -2 for being DOA

Cons: first thing i noticed was...a dent in the shipping box...got into the packaging and found yet another dent on the retail packaging ( bad on ups's part)...went to install the new cpu and cooler, went on perfectly, turned on the pc and ....nothing... then i replaced the old cpu to check if my motherboard was the problem...and the bios started right up...after trouble shooting i assumed that the cpu was DOA (dead on arrival)...

Other Thoughts: the great news is neweggs support and RMA system so i should get i a new one at no cost in about a week or two hopefully :D
