What does "Conroe-2m" mean?

[CatchPhrase]

Appreciate it.

 

[Quiksilver]

Huh? where did you see that? I supposed it could refer to l2 cache amount... (eg. E6400 and E6300)

 

[DSF]

Usually it refers to the E6300 and E6400 CPUs, as Quiksilver said, which only had 2MB of L2 Cache. All other Conroes have 4MB. (CPU-z reports my E4500 as a Conroe-2M, although I think the E4xxx series are technically supposed to be called Allendales.) What the difference between Conroe-2M and Allendale is, I couldn't tell you.

I see it on core temp.
I have a e2140.

my 4300 also says conroe-2m

Conroe-2M should refer to those chips that are Conroe core but have only 2MB of L2 cache enabled (original E6300 & E6400).

Newer chips with 2MB of cache or less, such as E4xxx/E2xxx, are Allendale core, which is a different core with 2MB of L2 on die.

I wouldn't think an E2140 should show up that way. Your chip, as you probably know, only has 1MB of L2 Cache.

my 2180 also says conroe-2m

Yeah, CoreTemp bug. My E2140s also report "Conroe-2M"
