We already had the capability to study the screen shot of processor core 2 Duo e4300 (1.8 GHz), which lancuh is planned on 21 January. We could only assume Until now that it will be based on the stepping L2 core allendale with 2 mb of cache on the crystal, since all low-end models of family core 2 Duo exxxx must pass on this stepping at the beginning of February. I please to note that the engineering models of processors stepping L2 are accessible from 17 November, 2006,
Today occurred immediately two events, which should be useful about the processors core 2 Duo. First, on Taiwan forum appeared the photographs of the engineering model core 2 Duo e6300 (1.86 GHz) on stepping L2. To distinguish the processors stepping from its predecessors on stepping B2 is possible according to the exterior view of the abdomen. On the photo to the left the processor with stepping B2, on the photo to the right - the processor with stepping L2:
Box processors can will be distinguished by the markings, which to us are thus far unknown.
The second event - is the appearance of the screen shot of processor core 2 Duo e6300 (1.86 GHz) stepping L2, by which we can judge, that the processors of series core 2 Duo e4xxx will be based on the analogous stepping core allendale. It has smaller die in comparison with Conroe area, it will be provided for presence only with models processors with 2 mb of cache, and therefore it is cheaper in the production.
Attempts at overclock engineering model of processor core 2 Duo e6300 was not taken. For the amateurs of overclock the best selection will become the processors of series core 2 Duo e4xxx, because the support of 800 MHz system bus will have higher multiplier, and their price are lower than other cpu The second core in this case will be preserved. As is known, in the third quarter of 2007 intel will also present the processors of series pentium e2xxx, which will combine the presence of two cores and the support of 800 MHz system bus with the reduced volume cache in the second level - 1 mb. Single core relatives to conroe will exist only in the form of processors celeron 4xx, similar processors exist only in the type of models stepping A0. Related Products :
