Conned by C2D

Allendales are due out soon they are E4000's with 800MHz bus i believe, Allendale is a separate core that is designed with only 2MB of cache. It does not have 2m disabled like the 6300/6400.

I thought intel had already stated the 6000 family including 6300/6400 is a conroe just 2meg of the L2 Cache has been lazer cut, my 6300 certainly shows up as a conroe anyway on cpuz.

Heh... I've just been led to believe the cache disabled conroe IS an allendale


*shrug*

I was tbh i think everyone was, maybe somone can confirm everything.

Conroe is Conroe, Allendale is Allendale, they are two different types of chips.

Like the old Toledo's on AMD 64 X2, I had a Toledo cored one with half the cache disabled. Doesn't mean it was a Manchester, because it wasn't.

All the current E6300-X6800 1033mhz Bus C2Ds are Conroe, with cache disabled if required.

some one should tell overclockers they are stating wrong info

my cpu-z says conroe & core temp program says allendale. Not sure what to believe heh.

It's still very quick though so i'm not bothered

Same actually core temp says same for me too, but cpuz says conroe, what i don't get they advertise saying how much cooler these are but mine always seems to hover around 38c mark at stock and around 44c at 2.8.

This don't run as cool as the amd i had previously and the P4 northwood i had too, i have a freezer 7 pro on full whack, 2x80m fans at rear, 1x120,2x80 front, gfx card is a 8800gts so that blows direct out the back.

bad contact or wrong temps then.

Because its putting out less heat and using less power than any other chips.

I'd say you're wrong there, have you not seen the endless "Core 2 Duo" adverts during prime time TV?

No, don't watch crappy channels with adverts.

I'm not wrong anyway, i have first hand experience as i build computers for a job.

When i give out spec sheets to people i get asked often, 'why does this pentium d at 2.66ghz cost so much less than this c2d at 1.8/2ghz, it has to be way faster?'

Old version of cpu-z is wrong also, newest version fixed that tho, all 6xxx series core 2 duo's are conroes...

if i use the monitoring program that came with the mobo it says 26c, but peeps say they always read the temps wrong hence using core temp.
