That's it. Benches please!

Yeah, I think people shouldn't be so harsh. He's just asking if we want to see them..

On the Overclockers forums, one of the biggest overclocking and hardware enthusiast forums on the web, I think it is a silly question really..

Ofcourse people want to see them!

His post just comes across as willy waving and attention seeking because he has the benchies and wants to feel important with having 20 members all wanting what he has and making them reply before he posts them.

Yeah true! but some people shouting "**** off" and stuff... that's not necessary right?

Now show us them benchies

Hes prolly in bed now have to wait until this evening.

morguk · 20 Dec 2007 at 15:14

Show benchies!

The only thing intereting to see is the overclocking potential, other than that it performs exactly the same as the rest of the E4*** series clock for clock so nothing new.

go for it

At 2.6Ghz this should have a 13x multi? At 333mhz FSB it'd be running at over 4Ghz! Sounds like a good one for those with soppy mainboards.

Now that would be a sweet 'upgrade' from my E4300 @ 3ghz also running on a 333FSB

I'm interested in benchies.

And if you're allowed to sell them, I'll be interested

I found something that may make this thread seem a little more worth while!

The entry-level Wolfdale 45nm part will be the E4700. That processor will be equipped with a 2MB L2 cache (presumably unified), and run at 2.6GHz on an 800MHz FSB with a 1K price of $133. Intel is reportedly releasing a second 45nm part with a 1066MHz FSB and 3MB of L2 cache, but neither clockspeed nor model number has been disclosed.

Source.

If they're based on the same Wolfdale core as The E8000 processors this is bound to be a hit.

Wolfdale with 800fsb? I doubt it.

Why, its just a case of setting the appropriate multiplier. By releasing the 'budget' part with a low FSB, they are putting a performance restriction on it, as it has less memory bandwidth. That way they can continue to charge a higher premium price on processors with 1333 FSB.

Because its simply progress. Obviously Intel could release it if they wish to, but it doesnt fit in with everything else theyre doing. Besides, the e4700 is actually an allendale core (i.e. the same as the other e4xxxs). The arstechnica article is wrong.

The E5xxx range will be the equivalent wolfdale chips with a 1066fsb and 3mb of l2 cache.

A Wolfdale with a 13x multiplier for less than 90quid.

Yup, I’m up for some overclocking results!

Ignore these grumps and get posting, our friend from the big Lychee

WJA96 · 24 Dec 2007 at 05:10

Have any of these J&W Mainboards actually turned up yet? I'd rather see overclocking results from those to be honest, than some random CPU.

[Edit]And if you are a J&W employee, you probably ought to say so, just so people know where you are coming from when you start saying nice things about J&W[/Edit]

Vir · 27 Dec 2007 at 10:28

Can you give some benchmarks now then?

I'm looking forward to this chip, looks really promising!

I think why he asked for the 20+ replies is because of how people responded in the Celeron 1600 thread - some people responded like complete prats when he was offering a sneak preview so to speak of a yet unreleased chip...

Lightnix · 2 Jan 2008 at 21:30

Just a hint to the OP, if you don't want to post them here, you could at least post them somewhere where there's been a more positive response and give those of us who've expressed an interest a link?
