Intel E2140 and E2160 spotted (by me)

Though I can not give you a link or screen shot becuase the place is a competitor sorry guys.

But there is one.

It costs 80p less than £50.

lol... good find.

pretty obvious where it's from tho.. haha

trojan698 · 18 Apr 2007 at 00:45

Any idea when these are released? bargain.

Journey · 18 Apr 2007 at 01:14

Nice find

Now if they come down to the price of an X2 3600+ or seriously out perform them then they will be a bargain.

Wonder how well they'll OC? If they are getting good yeilds now I can see the same sort of speeds that are being achieved on the 4300's and if you can find a good budget mobo at around £40 which has some FSB tolerance then you are laughing.

Price has dropped by 7p now.

edot

I have also found a Belgium site that has the E2160 on it.

I shall post a link to it seen as they are in Belgium and done seem to deliver to UK.

Heh, these cheap 'Spec Me' threads will hopefully become much easier

I thought the low E's were simply Pentium D's naming schemes? I understand they will still be shipping them as their uber budget models. I could be wrong though

Here are benchmakrs of the E2100 series from Dailytech.

Apparently they are coming in June but seen as they are on that site they must be coming sooner.

Wow those scores are extremely close to the E4300. Maybe this will end the rein of the E4300 being the budget chip. Hopefully it overclocks just as well as the E4300.

Yeah but Pentium Ds don't come with 1.6Ghz model, even for uber budget market it is still way too slow for a Netburst chip.

Dyson · 18 Apr 2007 at 11:29

Seems great for a budget build.

This is true, I hadnt looked into the product specs.

Journey · 18 Apr 2007 at 12:44

So come on, someone must know of an uber fast el cheapo mobo

oweneades · 18 Apr 2007 at 13:03

Damn for £50 & judging from the benches on anandtech that is a bargin.

Exactly the sort of thing I am after for a future HTPC build.

Edit just been reading some of the comments on the anandtech review and it appears that a 100% overclock (200-400fsb) is possible.

A £50 C2D based cpu running at 3ghz+ = me

death_metal posted this in the XS thread that I made.

100% overclock. Looks good. Stock cooling and everything.

lsg1r · 18 Apr 2007 at 17:14

ooh that looks tempting for my server (instead of a mobile chip), anyone know what the power usage is likely to be, ie comparable to the t7200 for example

St0rmer66 · 18 Apr 2007 at 17:57

I'm beginning to wonder how I will be able to resist upgrading my PC once these come out...

Tell me about it.

I have currently been pricing up pcs (sub £600) based around the E4300/E4400 and then theres this. Roughly half the price yet all round performance wise its within 10% of the E4xxx series.

Ah well all the better for me.

Intel Guy · 19 Apr 2007 at 18:39

They arent out for a while though, but yeah they will be good CPU's, when they are available.

Probably a bit early for sites to be listing these, but better early than late I suppose...
