E6320 & E6420... :D

Journey · 7 Apr 2007 at 14:37

Just noticed that you can now pre-order the 6320 & 6420 CPU's and they are cheaper than the 6300 & 6400 respectivley. Obviously I can' say where they are but this is exactly what i have been waiting for.

E6420 and an Asus P5B Deluxe/Wifi - with 2GB of Corsair XMS2 PC6400 4-4-4-12, for under £350 inc. VAT

Question however are the new chips just a lower multiplier conroe or do they have a new stepping out etc?

Hoping to get at least 3.2GHz using a Sythe Ninja+ and zero noise.

Anyone else gonna order these?

Yeah, they seem quite well priced.

I'd considering a similar spec to you, but with a P5B and some Crucial Ballistix PC5300 instead.

Good guess but you're wrong

I am just happy to see that these are gonna be available on the official launch day and not weeks afterwards.

Oh and I am gonna stick with that board unless anyone on here know of a better board with same features, stability and OC headroom for the same or less money?

Do they have the full 4MB cache as rumored or are they the same as the E63s and 64S

4Mb

i am seriousluy considering this setup too.

e6320 is priced very well, but wonder if they OC well like e6300.

Justintime · 7 Apr 2007 at 18:02

Yep, i'm willing to keep a machine offline with no cpu as it was supposed to get an E4300, but considering waiting for 6320 results and availability.

Are we talking weeks or months to when these are released?

Justintime · 7 Apr 2007 at 23:37

Looking about it seems weeks.
From an American website:

California, Southern -2 7225 04-09-2007
Texas -1 475 04-16-2007
Tennessee 0 300 04-09-2007
Illinois -2 2450 04-09-2007
Pennsylvania 0 3710 04-09-2007

They're expecting stock on Monday, prolly optimistic though. Pre-ordered one from the source of the OPs post for kicks

Remember guys these are 1333FSB chips with lower multi's...

Im waiting a few months for E6600/E6700s come cheap 2nd hand so I can grab a good clocker for sub £100

They're 1066FSB chips.

Very interesting. I wonder if they'll be decent clockers.

:/

They were 1333FSB last time I saw :confused:

What happened to 1333 then? :confused:

Minstadave · 8 Apr 2007 at 09:20

I thought they were just a 4MB refresh, not 1333FSB variant.

FreeStream · 8 Apr 2007 at 09:21

Aaa I see:

CPU Freq. FSB L2
E6850 3 GHz 1333 MHz 4MB
E6800 2.93 GHz 1066 MHz 4MB
E6750 2.66 GHz 1333 MHz 4MB
E6650 2.33 GHz 1333 MHz 4MB

The higher ones are 1333

Might be a nice chip to buy if they clock well, I would need to get some new mem to clock them :eek:

Peace · 8 Apr 2007 at 10:28

thats what i found;

Core 2 Duo E6420
2.13 GHz
1066 MHz
4 MB
$183

Core 2 Duo E6320
1.86 GHz
1066 MHz
4 MB
$163

Core 2 Duo E4400
2.0 GHz
800 MHz
2 MB
$133

In early Q3 they will launch the Core 2 Duo E6x50 with 1333MHz bus

Does that mean that the 4400 have a 10x multiplier? I was going to get a 4300 at the end of the month, but if the 4400's have a 10x multiplier, as opposed to the 9x that the 4300 has, then i'll wait a bit for the 4400

Yes it'll have a 10x multi

That's bloody brilliant, i'm so getting one. The motherboard I have is the Asrock 4coreDual-VSTA, which has an upper threshold of 300Mhz FSB, so i was looking forward to getting the CPU up to ~2.7Ghz, but with the 4400 i can get to 3Ghz....excellent!

After a bit of googling, I found THIS REVIEW which looks at the new processors - 6320,6420 and 4400. It's a pretty decent read, and the link goes directly to page 11 of the articles - the overclocking review. It is only 1 of each model, but their tests show you can get the 6320 and 4400 to pretty much the same clock speeds - only real difference being the L2 Cache.
