Are the E6300 a conroe chip?

As above really, It's an Allendale chip, but surely it's conroe too? just a bit of a disagreement with someone. So.. is a E6300 a conroe chip, yes or no?
 
Yes, but somthing about the names got mixed up.

Its the same arcitecture (sp), but I THINK they laser cut the Cache to 2MB from the 4MB.

Pretty sure im wrong at some point though lol.

Just look at the Quad core, its named "kentsfield", so by the same reasoning, thats not a "Conroe" either. :rolleyes:
 
The Processor formally known as Allendale :D

From what I am reading all the CD2 Range are Conroes.

The Kentsfield is obviously a different chip! :)

Conroe - e6300,e6400,e6600,e6700 and x6800. They all run at the same FSB but the 6300 and 6400 have 2mb cache disabled.

Allendale - e4300. 2mb cache, 800mhz FSB and a 9x multi. Does not have VT ( http://www.intel.com/technology/virtualization/index.htm )

Kentsfield - Quad core conroe with 8mb cache

agreed, the latest bible that people seem to think is gospel (cpu-z :rolleyes: ) confirms this! there was a big debate a while back about this, ended with myself quoting a passage from intel you say that 6300-X6800 are conroe's as above the lower end chips coming soon will be codenamed allendale!
 
all 6xxx core 2 duo's are conroe's, cpu-z and a lot of people XXXXXX up the name to allendale for the 2mb conroes (cpu-z latest version fixed that now) , but they still are conroes.
 
cant really say anymore than whats been said except how its been done to get a lot more profit for them from the people that worship that extra 2mb cache.

as they are chips cut in the exact same way and have a full working 4mb cache and then have 2mb of it destroyed, meaning they can put the price of the 4mb cache chips up a lot higher.

I don't think they destroy anything, but rather some of the chips have faulty cache so they disable the dodgy bits and leave it with a clean 2MB.

INTEL are attempting to make every chip with a working 4Mb cache and then just rebrand/remark the 'impure' ones . . . kinda like the way you can buy a box of broken cookies for cheap :D
 
"Hey baby, I run a conroe and I'm REALLY good in bed....at battlefield. Got a wireless keyboard see."

Oh yes killer line :cool: :p
 
Ah right. They obviously use towns/cities in the good ol' USA to name them. So we're unlikely to see a "Slough" chip anytime soon ;)
