I just ordered an Intel Pentium E6500. Although the name might sound familiar, this belongs to a newer family of processors, codenamed "Wolfdale". E6500 appeared in Q3 of 2009. I also ordered a new cooler for my Gigabyte HD4850, Arctic Cooling Accelero Pro. I expect my temperatures to drop by at least 25C(it stays at 80C in idle with the stock cooler).
That's why I actually started that SuperPI benchmarking thread, to observe how it compares with other scores. On some sites I saw it was capable of calculating 1M digits in 18 seconds at the default clock, but maybe that's on a clean windows install. Anyway, it will be a lot better than my current CPU.
Better power consumption and efficiency(E6500: max 65W, Intel PentiumD935: max 95W).
I will make benchmark my pc again after I'll install them.
