Intel Pentium D 820 Pro Reviews

mbreview‘s review Edit

All in all, Intel has an excellent offering in the Pentium D from a price vantage point alone. The processor does run quite a bit cooler than the Extreme Edition 840, given that it’s clocked down at 2.80GHz versus the 3.20GHz of the Extreme Edition 840. The Pentium D 820 doesn’t feature the clock control features for cooling of the Extreme Edition either, because the lowest multiplier is 14x, the default multiplier of the 820. This processor is for the general user looking to move to a dual core platform without blowing their budget. Both the Extreme Edition and top-end Athlon X2’s are still quite expensive, which makes the Intel Pentium D series a solid upgrade option.

www.pcper.com‘s review Edit

The results are a mixed bag on the Pentium D 820. On one hand, the single threaded performance of the chip, including all current generation games, is very low and shows the main weakness of a low clock speed processor. However, looking at the benchmarks that take advantage of multiple threads and multitasking you can see that the Pentium D 820 does very well, often outperforming much more expensive processors. For this reason, deciding on whether or not the Pentium D processor is right for you is very dependent on your computing habits and desires.

HEXUS‘s review Edit

The Pentium D 820 is in a different league, both in terms of architecture and pricing. When viewed with respect to single-threaded applications, and gaming is counted amongst them, it's labouriously slow and ineffective against both its Pentium 4 single-core counterparts and, more importantly, AMD's Athlon 64 line of CPUs. Gamers and enthusiasts who value framerates above all else will need to look elsewhere for their thrills and spills. 2.8GHz of Prescott-based power isn't really enough to drive the subsystem-hungry likes of Far Cry and Half-Life 2 along at decent rates.

xbitlabs‘s review Edit

According to our tests, the launch of an inexpensive Intel processor can seriously affect the users’ preferences. Pentium D 820 appears faster than its single-core rivals in a pretty big number of test applications. Although this is mostly true for Pentium 4.
