Intel e3200 - 45nm "Pentium" 2.60 (?) GHz 1MB dual core

Looks very interesting. So is this taking the place of the Celeron 4xx series then as low end? If so that should put it in the $40-60 range which would be nice.
 
Actually 2.60 with 13x might be right. If you see the list of Pentium Dual Cores here :
IPF link , the e2xxx 1MB models have a 0.2 GHz speed diff. The prev fastest was 2.4 GHz (E2220).

 
Only thing is, I thought that the sucessor to the E2xxx series was the E5xxx series. So is this E3xxx series the sucessor to the E1xxx series? Still, even with 1MB of L2, it cannot be any worse than the E2xxx series for performance, and is probably as overclockable as the E5200 chips.
 
Is this one of those OEM specials where Intel only sells them to HP/Dell/etc and the general public has no way of buying them?

Intel is preparing to launch a new series of Celeron processors in Q3. The E3000 family it said to debut with two models - the E3200 and E3300, which are dual-core 45nm parts clocked at 2.4 and 2.5GHz respectively, that boast a FSB of 800MHz, 1MB of L2 cache and a TDP of 65W. Unlike the 65nm E1000s, the upcoming Celeron E3000 CPUs will include support for virtualization.

Performance bargain of the decade? If they can come in at lower than $40, its effectively a 45nm version of the e2xxx series which weren't too far behind the original Core 2 Duos...

A series of dual-core Celeron processors show their face at AKIBA.This new arriver is Celeron E3200,which adds support for VT.
Celeron E3200 based on 45nm process clocks at 2.4GHz and has 1MB of L2 cache.It has 800MHz of FSB and 65W of TDP.It is priced at $43.There will be Celeron E3300 2.5GHz with a price tag of $53.

That will be a relative bargain for a VT-enabled chip. Might even be worth replacing an E5200 with a E3300, if you really need VT support.

I know which chip I'll now be using for extreme budget builds when they want Intel. I still prefer AMD for budget rigs because of the better IGPs though. (780G/785G)

Should be 2.40 GHz ? Or 13x.

When there's a will, there's a way. I once bought a Dell system that came with a particular P4 CPU I wanted. I kept the CPU, put a Celeron in there and gave the system to my mom.

Ha! Take that, mother dear! 😉

Eh, they're pretty far behind, and probably more so with newer software. AMD's phenom based athlons actually catch up in performance per mhz.

"It turned out that the minimal power consumption of the new Celeron processors is about 20 W, which is a very impressive result. It means that Celeron E3000 processors can be used in energy-efficient systems with total power consumption no higher than 50 W under peak load when paired with mainboards based on chipsets with integrated graphics core."

That's niiice.

"And here are the promised 4 GHz. The CPU works perfectly stably at this frequency if we increase its Vcore to 1.6 V. And although it is a pretty high voltage setting, we don?t see any signs of overheating: the maximum core temperature during our stability tests didn?t exceed 70-75 °C. "

Ouch. 1.6v, on a 45nm? Not so good.

Isn't it the temperature melting stuff, not voltage? 🙂 70-75 C is perfectly fine under stress testing.

Voltage increases the distance the electrons are able to travel so they can pass through barriers they otherwise wouldn't be able too. This can damage the electrical pathways.
 
Reminds me of the badass budget e4300s that came out when conroe was introduced. I had one at 3.6gHz 😉
 
From the Xbit labs review:
"Moreover, the associativity of the new processors L2 cache has also been lowered accordingly, which is quite logical considering Intel engineers? approach to limiting the amount of cache-memory"

Why does Intel still cripple their Celeron CPUs? I mean, they kind of uncrippled it by allowing the VT extensions.

But I just checked with CPU-Z on this E4500, and the L1 I and D caches are 8-way set associative, and the L2 is also 8-way set associative. Whereas, the Celeron E3300 is only 4-way set associative on the L2.

I'm curious now, what the associativity is of the L2 cache on the E2xxx and E5xxx CPUs.
 
Well, all I can say as wahoo.

My wife bought a computer based on a MSI board and a presshot 915 pentium D furnace that has been running unacceptably hot from the day she got it.

But you all know the old joke, someone anyone take my wife.

And I have been telling her and telling her it would crap out soon, and I am surprised it lasted the 1.5 years it did. Would she listen to me, short answer no, and Tuesday 9/8/2009 it finally happened, as she got a blue screen of death after repeated ignoring cpu heat warnings.

It took me a while, but I finally recovered her OS, I already knew her older MSI board would work with the E5200, but I checked today, and am pleasantly surprised to see her MSI board already also supports the E3200 and E3300. Kudos to MSI.

What to do, what to do in terms of a e3300 or an E5200. But my wife at least understands that presshot has got to go.
