As is known to our permanent readers, at the beginning of June on the market will appear dual core processors Pentium e2140 (1.6 GHz) and Pentium e2160 (1.8 GHz), which will propose access to the architecture core in all for $74 and $84 respectively. They will have only 1 mb cache in the second level and support 800 MHz system bus, which theoretically must draw the attention of budget overclock users. As we could be convinced based on the example of processors core 2 Duo e4300 (1.8 GHz) stepping L2, not all followers Of conroe were capable of repeating the successes in overclock of their predecessors.
Associates obtained at their disposal the engineering model of processor Pentium e2160 (1.8 GHz), which was based on the completely appropriate in this case stepping L2 core allendale. In order to convert Core 2 Duo e4xxx in a Pentium e2xxx, Intel company just had to hide one mega-byte cache in the second level. Therefore the utility CPU- Z version 1.39.1 entirely does not understand, with what processor it deals :-). Here is the Pentium e2160 with cache volume in the second level, equal to 1 mb.
Associates had time to make some test in games for processors, close ones in characteristics and price. Here we have the comparison of Pentium e2140 (1.6 GHz), Pentium e2160 (1.8 GHz), Core 2 Duo e4300 (1.8 GHz) and Athlon 64 X2 3600+ (1.9 GHz) in 65 nm version.
The advantage of processors Intel above cheapest dual core AMD we designated in three right columns of table. Let us recall that on 9 April the price Of athlon 64 X2 3600+ will be lowered to $69; therefore price parity with processors Pentium e21x0 ($74-84) will succeed in preserving. Related Products :
