To day ago we showed the advantages of processors series core 2 Duo e6x20 stepping B2 and their good overclocking capability .associates procured the engineering model of processor core 2 Duo e6400 (2.13 GHz) stepping L2. Let us recall that such processors had to appear in sale in the beginning of past month.
Besides reduction in cores area , the processors allendale stepping L2 has a decrease in the energy consumption level in the state extended HALT : from 22 to 12 W. it is necessary to note that processors core 2 Duo e6xxx stepping B2 has analogous modernization of energy consumption properties , including elder models with 4 mb cache. our associates compared the processors core 2 Duo e6400 stepping B2 and stepping L2, in this case the first in the state Extended HALT consumed 22 W. as associates noted the processor stepping L2 consumes approximately to 12,5% less power than previous.
The processors conroe stepping B2 have core area 143 sq. mm, the quantity of transistors is equal to 291 mln. , while processors allendale stepping L2 have core area of 111 sq. mm, and the number of transistors in this case is equal to 167 mln. . The economic benefit of the transfer of processors core 2 Duo with 2 mb cache on stepping L2 is obvious. However, among overclocker exists the opinion that these processors should overclocked less .
In the hands of associates was the processor core 2 Duo e6400 (2.13 GHz) stepping L2, in was overclocked using motherboard gigabyte GA -965P-Ds4 on base of chipset intel p965 and it was cooled by its sufficiently effective cooler tuniq tower 120. With default vcore 1.325 v the processor was overclocked to the frequency of 3.2 GHz.



After raising of the vcore to 1.55 v processor succeeded to reach 3.6 GHz. , screen shot was possible also at the frequency of 3.76 GHz, but in this case the system was far from being stable.
And this was the result of overclock u can judge for yourself how good overclocked this processor. It is important to consider that the frequency of stable work under serious load will for sure be below the noted values. Furthermore, not all use for processors overclock high effective cooler as tuniq tower 120. Finally, the overclocked potential for different copies can be sufficient large..... Related Products :
