What intel cpu is a Coppermine-T?

1.133 GHz-S SL5LV SL5PU TA1 06B1 512K 69 27.9

See the notes at the bottom of the page. One says this does not work on workstation motherboard. You may have to get the Bios flash that supports the 512K L2 from your board mfr, if they have one.

The P3 and the Tualatin are fine cpu's. While the tualatin is faster clock for clock than the Thunderbird, there are other considerations.
An AXIA 1000 goes for about $92 shipped, and it will reach 1400MHz relatively easily. The Tualatin 1.13GHz is sure to cost at least double that. Even on the .13 micron die it is very unlikely that it will overclock anywhere near 1400MHz. I say this because given Intels past record they will make sure that it cannot compete with the P4, which means that the clock speeds will have to be held back somehow or the tualatin will whip ass on the weak P4, just like the thunderbird does (stock 1.4 t-bird still dominates the 1.7 P4 in benchmark testing). That is too bad for us, because if Intel makes a product that has more bang for the buck than AMD, that would give all of us a nice option. It gives me wood to think of a tualatin sporting 512k of L2 cache priced around $100 that will overclock to 1500MHz. But those bastards at Intel aren't gonna let that happen!

Swanny,

Yes, the Epox board uses the AMD 761 chipset but that is the north bridge. The board still uses VIA's 686B south bridge and I'm sure you remember that is the chipset that ran into problems a little while back. But if you are going the AMD route I'd pick that board too.

If it has a lower voltage, and passive cooling then that will mean that it will probably overclock great. Does anyone have one of these or know where to buy one? Also, will it work on an Asus CUSL2?

I am pretty sure of the following:

Coppermine-T's have a 256K L2 cache and are .13 micron
Tualatin's have a 512K L2 cache and are .13 micron also.

I have yet to see a Coppermine-T with a 512K l2 cache or vice versa
