Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400s
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400s is a processor that once met high demands. It has four processing cores. This offered considerable performance for multitasking at the time. It was manufactured using the 45-nanometer process. A product of its era. Its efficient "s" design is particularly noteworthy.

This aimed at lower energy consumption. This made it a sensible choice. Systems designed for stability and reliability benefited from it. It has 4 MB of Level 2 cache. The maximum memory bandwidth is 17 GB/s. With this, it confidently handled everyday tasks. Even today, this processor can still impress in older systems.

It is well suited for basic applications. The Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400s is based on the Yorkfield (Penryn) architecture. We greatly appreciate the longevity of these CPUs. They provide a solid foundation. Especially if you want to revive an older system. Its processing power is sufficient for simple office work.

Surfing the internet is also often still successful. A proven piece of technology for many years.
  • Four processing cores
