2.53 C1 "SL6S2" vs 2.53 C1 "SL6EG" => OK O/C guru's, so *WHY* is the "S2" a better o/clocker ?

[Tillo]

OK.............this is "really" starting to hit the "mythic" realms.

Both these CPU's - the SL6S2 & the SL6EG - according to the Intel Sspec page are *IDENTICAL* in every respect *EXCEPT* for:-

-> the EG runs at 1.525v and is *NOT* a multivid CPU
-> the S2 runs at 1.525v" and *IS* a multivid CPU

So.......why is the S2 now attaing an almost mythical overclocking status and yet the EG is barely mentioned ?

My point is this:-

=> Can someone *ACTUALLY* explain, *without* using any sarcasm or smart@#@ responses, *EXACTLY* why a multivid CPU is a better overclcoker than a non-multivid CPU when

(a) there are idential in all other respects

and

(b) they both default install the cpu voltage to 1.525v

the SL6S2 is the lastest version.
they make minor changes for each version ~ and sometimes during a version too
obviously it was for the better cause most of them are awesome overclockers.
at least the ones coming out of Fry's/Outpost are.

This is also the same story with 2.4b, SL6EF vs. SL6RZ. I have 2 SL6RZ and they are both running default Vcore 180fsb with no problems...
Multi-VID is the last change over before 200fsb P4s. Try to find the Multi-VID P4s, they seam to at least overclock by 400~600Mhz with no vcore change...

Multi-VID CPUs have been tested to run at different vcores. This is the last update before the 200fsb P4s and Celerons. I talked to a couple of Intel reps at a recent trade-show. They said this was just a clean-up of the CPU process. Intel sent new traces to the Wafer-Fabs and are ready to start pumping out 200fsb CPUS...

Most of these new CPUs can reach a way higher Frequency than what Intel states. Intel just has to produce x number of 2.0, 2.26, 2.4, 2.53 and so on...

That was what I heard at the Semiconductor Trade Show in San Jose last month...

Other than Fry's, who else has these for sale?
