M1 stepping e7200 coming ?

[NoobyDoo]

Came across this "core 2 Duo e7200 produced during May will be based on stepping M1" on the net. Is that true/likely ?

that only makes sense since the q9300 is on m1.

Ok, thanks. I was about to get a e7200, worth waiting for the M1 stepping ?

if you want a few more MHz from overclocking then i think waiting would be a good idea.

If this holds water, where would you think one would be found? if I remember correctly, someone in AT found a G0 2140 in a "dell" rig?

meh.. not really worth the effort to locate one just to get another 100-200mhz prolly out of it.

I thought it meant all e7200s manufactured in/after May would be M1 stepping.

Someone with both e7 and e8 should look underneath the chips to see if the caps are laid out the same way. Are they different like conroes and allendales?

 

[hans007]

i doubt it will be much different. they did not change the letter so i doubt the bottom of the chip would change.

Is my motherboard GA-73VM-S2 supports E7200, after check in Gigabyte web site, this was not listed, but E8400 is list.

Is this means All 45nm Processors are same ?

The 7200 is basically an 8XXX with half the cache, so I'd think you'll be fine.
