According to official data, yesterday users begin to obtain the processors Pentium e2160 (1.8 GHz) and Pentium e2140 (1.6 GHz) on the new M0 stepping . We already talked in previous news about how to distinguish them ( marking or appearance ). Furthermore, yesterday the processor Pentium e2140 (1.6 GHz) fell in price to $71, and at the end of August it will fall in price to $64. Then Intel will release the processor Pentium e2180 (2.0 GHz), originally proposing the 10x multiplier and M0 stepping .
We already noted that for motherboard BIOS adaptation to the processors Pentium e2xxx with M0 stepping , intel company began to extend the engineering models of dual core processors Pentium 1mb cache, 800 MHz system bus and with default frequency 2.4 GHz. These engineering models are able to reduce their multiplier with 1X step in order to stimulate the work of low-end models M0 stepping .
Information about the compatibility with this processor , was published by aSRock company . In the list of supported processors was called the Pentium e2220:
This is the engineering model, intended especially for motherboard testing purposes ( to assure compatibility with M0 stepping processors ) . In any case, For the moment there in no official data about such processor , and Intel may be assembled to officially announce similar processor with such characteristics in the future.
