And they're just as good. I had one (E6600 2.4GHz). They can deal with
1080p just fine. Even better if you have a Core 2 with four cores, then
you can do other stuff too without affecting video performance.
The only reason I upgraded to an i5 is for video games (in Windows).
For everything else, the Core 2 from 2006 was very comfortable to work with.
