quad core like the E4300?

[jay75]

any chance/news of a quadcore based on the e4300 series coming out. i.e. a quadcore with 800mhz fsb and 2*2mb L2 cache.

I wouldn't count on it . . . at least, not anytime soon, if ever.

they'll have some budget quads eventually i'm sure. just like how they have budget core2duo now.

 

[nyker96]

dont think so.

The main key is the 4300's low fsb.....with 4 cores and a 800fsb it would be bandwidth limited....I think if anything we will see more and more quad cores with 1333fsb. The lowest quad core desktop I have heard about is Q6400...

Now in the woodcrest line they have a quad at 1.6ghz but it still runs 1066fsb...6x266

Given that the only people who need quad core are the people with the money to get it, there's not really any call for a budget quad-core yet.
