e2160,s?

The Conroe has more cache and an initial 1066/1333mhz FSB compared to the Allendales 800mhz. You won't really notice the cache difference too much at the same speeds.

so come to overclocking will it matter at all? :confused:
 
Not really. The Conroes will give slightly better benchmark scores and maybe a handful more FPS at the same clocks, but not the difference that the price difference would suggest.

It's nowhere near the difference that there was between the Pentiums and Celerons.
 
Would i see a massive difference between a 2.8 pentium d 820 stock and a E2160 at stock running xp and 1.5 gig of ram?

From having a look around the forum mate of you are going to overclock the new e2160 i think you would see a difference how much im not too sure.

Obviously depending what board / memory etc you buy (you did mention budget-pc) the overclock potential on a 2160 appears to be quite staggering.

Even on the Asrock DualVsta board people are getting 2.7GHz (up from 1.8)

At the price you wont look back.
 
Budget meaning i have a pc now so i guess im just adding new stuff to that which will do me for now and ill build a new system in the new year, so a budget upgrade is a better word i guess. :cool:
 
mobo is an ecs NF650iSLIT-A, memoey is OCZ Special ops Edition 5300, gfx card atm is a 7900gs o/ced to the max. Last night i o/ced my PentiumD 935 from 3.2 to 3.7 :) stressed it with orthos for 8 hours and all was fine this morning :D

Intel call it the Pentium Dual-Core Inside range for marketing purposes ...

I've just got one for the missus, on a Asrock 4CoreDual-VSTA. Still have to rebuild her pc, she will kill me if I lose/screw up anything on her machine (around 80GB of history in the photography directory.)

I am backing up to my own primary machine (listed in sig) , my backup machine (also listed), and a 320GB NAS.

I really hope nothing goes .. goes ...goes ...goes ...goes ...
 
Intel will add another processor to the Pentium Dual-Core family this month on 26th August 2007.

Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2180 2.0 GHz (1MB cache,800 MHz,LGA775)

priced at US$84 in 1000-unit tray quantities.
