Will there be a release of the e6000 allendale?

[acegazda]

I have heard that there will be a 1.6ghz e6000 released. This would be a slam dunk for my rig, which I'm looking to knock a few bucks off of. Any confirmation? You can use this as a general speculation/discussion thread on the cpu as well. Thanks!

the allendale will be a e4x00, and will have a true 2mb cache, unlike the current conroe e6300 and e6400 that just have 2mb's of cache disabled.



edit: supposed to be released q1 07 I believe.

You really have your info wrong. E6300 and E6400 ARE allendale..they are not conroe with half the cache disabled.

that's where you'd be wrong. the only people that dubbed it 'allendale' are CPUZ and the media, intel calls it the conroe. I own a e6400 it's the same size and has the same cache on the bottom- it's just got half of it disabled.

I picked that up at xtremesystems, go argue with them if you think I'm wrong.


a rep of cpuz said they call any core2 chip with 4mb's of cache on cpuz a conroe and any with 2mb an allendale, it's how they flag them on cpuz. part of the reason es samples of the e6400 are flagged as conroes. theyre cache wasn't disabled.

Allendale appeared on like the first intel slide for core 2 duo. Intel's been calling the e6300 and e6400 "conroe" ever since.

Wikipedia seems to agree with you..but why produce so many 2mb chips if they are just gonna be used for the single E4xxx series. The differance between the E4xxx and the E6300/6400 is the that the E4xxx runs on the 800mhz FSB and thats why it starts with a 4 instead of a 6.

The E4xxx chips also have no EIST or VT, for what it's worth.

A lot of the E4000 (Conroe L) chips are E6300 and E6400's where one core is bad. Same thing that AMD does with the AM2 versions of their single cores. Its better to sell a processor that is damaged as a disabled dual core, then to make 0 on it and toss it...a lot of people seem to think the Conroe-L will be great for clocking, I have a feeling these will be the outside of the silicone and suck for it. There will not be a center cut processor in the bunch, becuase it would be extremely rare for a processor in the center of the FAB to go wrong.

Just my 2 cents I guess, maybe they will be great with one core disabled.
