how well will the 1MB E2xxx series perform?

[nyker96]

Just read Intel putting out Cele D and E2000s on June 3rd.

what you guys think? these E2000 gonna be a budget OC steal or at 1MB C2D architecture will be slowed to a crawl?

well considering it takes roughly a 300-400mhz overclock over the fastest 4mb c2d with a 2mb c2d, i'd imagine its going to be even slower than a 2mb c2d and require even a higher overclock to hit decent speeds.

Since going from 2MB to 4MB L2 cache on the current C2D does very little for performance, I'd say that it will be a steal for at 75 bucks.

Compared to a Netburst chip, they are a big improvement.

I agree.

:thumbsup::thumbsup: for Intel. Great idea on how to phase out Netburst for good.

Most tests I've seen show only an average of around 4% performance gain from 2MB to 4MB cache.

The real question is....how high will they oc?

But going from 2MB to only 1MB could create a serious performance bottleneck. Can't be certain till they are reviewed.

They shouldn't be that bad though because the architecture is very solid no matter what you do with it...
