Can someone post a link for me with a good breakdown of the numbering schemes for intel processors?

I haven't looked at these things in a few years and im trying to figure out whether to rebuild my 939 socket with a new motherboard (the last got hit by lightning) while i wait for nehalem or if i should jump into something now.

Core2Duo

65nm tech
E14x0 = mult x 200mhz FSB 512kB L2 cache
E21x0 = mult x 200mhz FSB 1MB L2 cache
E4x00 = mult x 200mhz FSB 2MB L2 cache
E6300 = 7 x 266mhz FSB 2MB L2 cache
E6400 = 8 x 266mhz FSB 2MB L2 cache
E6600 = 9 x 266mhz FSB 4MB L2 cache
E6700 = 10 x 266mhz FSB 4MB L2 cache
E6x20 = mult x 266mhz FSB 4MB L2 cache
E6x50 = mult x 333mhz FSB 4MB L2 cache
X6800 = unlocked mult (default 11) x 266mhz FSB 4MB L2 cache

45nm tech (wolfdale)
E7x00 = mult x 266mhz FSB 3MB L2 cache
E8x00 = mult x 333mhz FSB 6MB L2 cache

Quads

65nm tech
Q6x00 = mult x 266mhz FSB 8MB L2 cache
QX6800 = unlocked mult (default 11) x 266mhz FSB 8MB L2 cache
QX6850 = unlocked mult (default 9) x 333mhz FSB 8MB L2 cache

45nm tech
Q9300 = mult x 333mhz FSB 6MB L2 cache
Q9x50 = mult x 333mhz FSB 12MB L2 cache
QX9650 = unlocked mult x 333mhz FSB 12MB L2 cache
QX9770 = unlocked mult x 400mhz FSB 12MB L2 cache


I'm sure I'm missing some of the 45 and 65nm but this is as much as I can remember.

The newer board that intel make should support nehalem I'm guess with a simple bios update but don't take my word for it. I'm out of the loop on all the newer P45/X48 boards.

what are you going to do with your comp? encoding or browse the interwebs or pew pew with the laser beams?

Negative. the current socket will not support the nehalem

no neha has an entirely new socket.

there is no way you can fit a LGA775 CPU inside a NEHA socket. And vice versa.

SO NEHA MEANS ENTIRELY NEW HARDWARE.

Well DDR3 you can recycle.


EDIT: DOH BR beat me to the punch.
