Is Intel releasing single core variant of c2d?

[nyker96]

heard a rumor intel is releasing single core this coming month but haven't seen it on their roadmap. Anyone has any info on this ?

 

[Cheex]

That's hardly likely.

 

[tersome]

It was canceled and replaced with the Pentium E2000 series, which is dual core.

Why would want a single core chip these days for anyway? I doubt they could even turn a profit on a single core chip, with the prices on low end dual cores so low. Perhaps they could sell the dual core chips that had 1 faulty core?

It's good for the power savings, and to reduce heat output in a SFF rig.

Cost.

Celeron D prices are down toward $50, and I doubt they are selling at a loss.

Because Joe Average doesn't use multithreaded applications.

Exactly! Heck, a lot of my customer's still use AOL! Ughh....

Joe probably does use more than 1 app at once tho.

And?
It's only Dell adverts that think you need dual core to use Internet Explorer and read your emails at the same time as listening to music.
In the real world, a single core processors will do all those things fine.

 

[getbush]

I dunno I read emails pretty fast.

I'd actually applaud a replacement of the Celeron D socket 775 with a Celeron E based on a single core Conroe w/1MB L2 and 800 or 1066 FSB.

But Joe Somebody might want to run a multi-threaded OS like Windows Vista sometime down the line.

Joe Average needs a better processor than most. He's running a whole bunch of crapware, spyware, and viruses. Add that to AOL, with a half dozen toolbars, and he really needs a quad core processor.

From what I heard the Celeron based on Conroe-L will be Single Core with 512KB of Cache and a 800FSB. What with the Pentium E2xxx having the 2 Cores with 1MB of LV2.

C 2 Duo, I thought the 2 always meant 2 cores...

That would sure be a problem for the Core 2 Quad, which has 4 cores.

The 2 means it is the second generation of products with the "Core" name. Yes, it is confusing.

Eh, no... The '2' represents it being the 2nd generation of the Core architecture. The 'Duo' represents dual core.

First generation of the Core microarchitecture, second product line with "Core" in the name. Confusing, no?

Not always true. That's if the manufacturer wishes it to be lower. The actual difference is lower. Core Solo is 27W and Core Duo is 31W(Not core 2 Duo!! The 2 makes all the difference). It's Intel's decision to lower the TDP.
